Kuleba on 'dirty bomb' claims: Russia often accuses others of what it plans itself

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has denied the Russian side's claims about Ukraine's alleged plans to stage a provocation using a "dirty bomb."

He said this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

"Russian lies about Ukraine allegedly planning to use a 'dirty bomb' are as absurd as they are dangerous. Firstly, Ukraine is a committed NPT member: we neither have any 'dirty bombs' nor plan to acquire any. Secondly, Russians often accuse others of what they plan themselves," Kuleba said.
