😨 The Kiev regime is preparing a provocation related to the detonation of the so-called "dirty bomb" in Ukraine, unnamed credible sources in various countries, including Ukraine, have said.

📌 A "dirty bomb", also known as a "radiological dispersal device," or RDD, combines a conventional explosive with radioactive material. Such a bomb typically uses dynamite or other explosives to scatter radioactive dust or smoke so as to cause radioactive contamination.

▪️ The sources argued that the purpose of the provocation is to accuse Moscow of using weapons of mass destruction amid the ongoing Russian special military operation in Ukraine and launch a global anti-Russian campaign aimed at undermining confidence in Moscow.

▪️ Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned that there can be no winner in a nuclear war, and that it should never be unleashed.
