Antony Blinken slams Russian accusation

$5/hr Starting at $25

  • Blinken denied Russian allegations that Ukraine would plant a 'dirty bomb' 
  • Claims were made by Russia's defense secretary in a call to western ministers
  • Ukraine foreign secretary said the claims were 'as absurd as they are dangerous'
  • President Zelensky called for a harsh international response to the claims
  • A 'dirty bomb' is a device that uses explosives to scatter radioactive waste 
  • Ukraine slammed Russia on Sunday for alleging Kyiv was planning to use a radioactive bomb in its own territory, calling the claims 'dangerous' lies and prompting Western allies to warn Moscow against using any pretext for escalating the conflict.

    Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu spoke with his British, French and Turkish counterparts to convey 'concerns about possible provocations by Ukraine with the use of a dirty bomb,' - a weapon that uses traditional explosives to contaminate an area with radioactive waste.

    But Ukraine and its Western allies swiftly dismissed Moscow's allegations, with the United States, Britain and France issuing a joint statement on Sunday rejecting Russia's 'transparently false' claims.

  • US Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted on Sunday that he spoke to Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba to 'reject Russia's false allegations that Ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb on its own territory'.

    Earlier this week, Blinken also accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of 'doubling and tripling down' on his aggression towards the neighboring country.

    'Every indication is that far from being willing to engage in meaningful diplomacy, President Putin continues to push in the opposite direction,' he said at a press conference with his French counterpart Catherine Colonna.

    Earlier on Sunday, Kuleba had denounced Moscow's claims as 'absurd' and 'dangerous'.

    'Russians often accuse others of what they plan themselves,' he added, before tweeting about his call with Secretary Blinken.

    'We both agreed Russia's ''dirty bomb'' disinformation campaign might be aimed at creating a pretext for a false flag operation,' Kuleba wrote. 

    'We also discussed further practical steps to boost Ukraine's air defense. Secretary affirmed the US spares no effort to this end.'
