In an interview with POLITICO at the alliance’s Brussels headquarters, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says that false allegation is ‘part of a pattern we have seen before from Russia’.
Russia should not use false claims as a pretext to escalate its war in Ukraine. The allegation that Ukraine is preparing to use dirty bombs in Ukraine is absurd, Stoltenberg said.
The NATO chief’s comments came after Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told his British, French and Turkish counterparts over the weekend that Ukraine might be preparing to use a “dirty bomb,” a device that combines conventional explosives with radioactive materials.
