Kuleba on 'dirty bomb' claims: Russia often accuses others of what it plans itself
Ukrinform
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.
Earlier reports said that Russia's Minister of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, had held phone calls with Defense Ministers Sebastien Lecornu of France, Hulusi Akar of Turkey, and Ben Wallace of Britain, in which Shoigu "expressed concern" in connection with Ukraine's alleged plans to use a "dirty bomb."
