According to Global Times , Russian media has quoted sources and reported the latest progress of Ukraine's "dirty bomb". sources claim that the Ukrainian Southern Design Bureau was responsible for creating a launcher that looks very much like the Russian "Iskander" missile . This launcher was actually modified based on the "Dound-U", and its warhead would be stuffed with radioactive material.
. According to the plan of Kiev , the "Iskander" missile disguised by will be thrown into the Chernobyl nuclear restricted area and "shoot down" there. Immediately, Kiev will disclose these missiles fragments and radiation materials to the outside world, and will deduct Russia the charge of "firing dirty bombs to Chernobyl nuclear power plant ".

Previously, Russia had issued "dirty bomb" warnings many times. For this reason, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu had a call with the leaders of the US and European military and informed the other party of the relevant news. However, Western countries turned a blind eye to Russia's warnings and even issued a statement accusing Russia of "escalating the situation."
Seeing that Western countries are on their side, Ukraine is naturally fearless. Zelensky also publicly mocked him, claiming that Russia itself was preparing for the "dirty bomb".

Obviously, if such an incident really happens, no matter what, Western countries will blame Russia. On this issue, Russia will face "moral isolation" and Ukraine does not need to consider these.
Russia threw out the problem in advance, probably because it learned some of the previous lessons. On the Syrian battlefield, the " White Helmet " once staged a photo of the "chemical weapons attack" incident and handed over the "material" to Western countries as an excuse for Western countries to crack down on Syria .

And on the Ukrainian battlefield, there are actually quite a few similar posing incidents. Because the West manipulates public opinion, Russia often cannot speak out, and all the results are decided by Western countries.
Recently, Zaporo thermonuclear power plant and the Dnieper Kahovka Dam were also constantly bombarded. If something happens to these two critical infrastructures, it will cause major floods and nuclear disasters, and the consequences may even be more serious than the "dirty bomb".
Russia accused Ukraine of shelling these facilities, and Ukraine also accused Russia of shelling. But if the actual situation is considered, these facilities are now controlled by the Russian army, and Russia still has garrisons there. It is logical that the Russian army cannot shell itself.

So Russia also knows the importance of public opinion. If public opinion propaganda is not done in advance, then when things really happen, Russia will definitely be unaware of it.
This time Russia exposed the matter in advance, so that the whole world would be mentally prepared. If Ukraine really has such a plan, then the plan has been exposed, and it would be boring to do this kind of action again.
