Russia insists to France that Ukrainian Army could use a «dirty bomb» during the war [View all]

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has once again expressed concern over the possibility that Ukraine could use a "dirty bomb" during the war in the future.

A dirty nuclear bomb, or "dirty bomb" as it is described by international bodies, is an explosive device capable of dispersing radioactive material, whose destructive capacity is significantly less than that of a nuclear weapon designed for this specific purpose but which nevertheless represents a serious threat because of its polluting character.

Russia had previously expressed its fears about this situation by accusing Kiev in October of trying to turn the Zaporiyia nuclear power plant into a "dirty nuclear bomb" through constant attacks on the facility and its surroundings, for which Kiev and Moscow blame each other.

This Sunday, Shoigu told his French counterpart, Sebastian Lecornu, of his concern about the possible use of this device given the "constant trend of uncontrolled escalation" that the conflict in Ukraine is exhibiting.
