⚡️ According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Kiev, before the 11th special session of the UN, continues to prepare a provocation to accuse Russia of a "gross violation" of the convention on nuclear safety.
To implement the provocation, containers with radioactive substances were delivered to Ukraine from the territory of one of the European states.
