Russia and Ukraine once again argued about the matter of " dirty bullet ".
Russian Defense Minister Shoigu was on the phone with France and Turkey defense ministers, both accused Kiev of being developing a "dirty bomb" and preparing to launch a provocation.
(Shoigu)
Zelensky After hearing this, he retorted and claimed that "What Russia said is what Russia wants to do." Zelensky did not forget to continue to pull the whole of Europe, accusing Russia of using nuclear weapon in Europe.
Note that "dirty bombs" and nuclear weapons are different. Nuclear weapons are currently available in Russia, but Ukraine does not, but "dirty bombs" are hard to say, because the threshold for "dirty bombs" is lower than that of nuclear weapons.
As we all know, Ukraine once had a large number of nuclear weapons in history, including land-based intercontinental missile silos, strategic bomber and nuclear warhead , etc., but most of these equipment were later destroyed. Ukraine does not retain its nuclear capabilities because Ukraine itself cannot support it. Moreover, both the United States and Russia want Ukraine to abandon its nuclear power. Although Ukraine has nuclear weapons, it does not have a complete set of nuclear technology . Under the circumstances at that time, giving up Ukraine was the best choice.
Since Ukraine did not have the ability to create nuclear weapons at the beginning, Ukraine today is even more unable to create nuclear weapons by itself. Before and after the Russian-Ukraine conflict, there were many voices of regaining nuclear weapons in Ukraine, including Zelensky's "nuclear status" demanded by the Muan Society, but this is unrealistic.
(Ukraine removed nuclear equipment back then)
However, "dirty bomb" is different. As the name suggests, "dirty bomb" is a weapon that will "dirty". In fact, it will release a source of radiation pollution, but it will not produce strong explosion consequences like atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb .
"dirty bomb" has a radioactive consequence that is not as good as a nuclear weapon, but if nuclear radiation is released, it will also make the battlefield "no grass grows".
Sources believe that Ukraine has received support from Western countries, and the heads of the eastern mining and mineral processing plants in the Dnipro region and the Kiev Nuclear Research Institute are being asked to develop "dirty bombs", and this work may be close to completion.
related news was released by Russian media. These messages contain two key points. The first is that Ukraine is about to obtain a "dirty bomb", and the second is that Ukraine's plan is authorized by the West.
To say "dirty bomb", the United States is actually a professional household. The United States used depleted uranium bombs in Iraq War . These weapons have caused very bad consequences. About 1 million Iraqi were tragically poisoned. 20 years have passed, and a large number of Iraqi children still have defects and even die.
So Russia's meaning is very clear. Ukraine itself may not have the ability to make "dirty bombs" alone, but if the United States gives a few depleted uranium bombs casually, the situation will be different.
In addition, the reactor of nuclear power plants is also a potential source of risk. Ukraine does not have nuclear weapons, but has nuclear power plants . Previously, Russia accused Ukraine of repeatedly cracking down on Zaporo thermonuclear power plant , and even affecting the reactor. Russia was worried that once the waste area leaked, it would cause the entire area to be polluted, and for this reason it also formulated an evacuation plan.
Shoigu contacted the top military leaders of the United States and Europe at a critical moment and vented the "dirty bomb" incident. This also shows that Russia is worried about the "dirty bomb" incident and is the Western countries, because Western countries do not care about the price paid by the Ukrainians. What the United States wants is to use Ukraine to deal with Russia.

Russia believes that it is not ruled out that the United States "sponsored" Ukraine to engage in "dirty bomb" incident. This is like many battlefield posing incidents that have occurred before, and many have become excuses for Western countries to make "moral accusations" against Russia.
Russia has also accused Ukraine of provoking and framed it more than once. This time, Russia stabbed the "dirty bomb" incident in advance, just to shut up the United States and the West.
(Remember the "white helmet"?)
To sum up, Ukraine cannot get nuclear weapons, but if it wants to provoke "dirty bomb", Ukraine has that ability. After all, Ukraine has the United States and NATO behind it.
But if such events really occur, the consequences will be extremely bad.
