War in Ukraine: Who is playing “dirty”?

of Athena Papakosta

NATO and Russia held separate anti-nuclear drills on Wednesday as Moscow stands by its claims that Kiev is preparing to use a “dirty bomb” in Ukraine.

The Russian president Vladimir Putin watched a Russian nuclear deterrent exercise, which included Yars intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarines and Tupolev strategic bombers.

The Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu informed Vladimir Putin that these are exercises in response to an enemy strike.

The American Pentagon he emphasized that Russia had informed Washington in advance of its plans while, at the same time, the corresponding NATO exercises are ongoing until Sunday (30.10) in Europe, specifically over Belgium, the United Kingdom and North Sea.

We heard him for the first time on Wednesday Russian president to accuse Ukraine himself of preparing “provocation plans” to use “dirty bomb“, while he argued that the United States is using Ukraine as a “battering battering ram” against Russia and its allies, turning the country into a “testing ground for their military-biological experiments”.

Ukraine and its Western allies have rejected Moscow’s persistent claims of using a “dirty bomb” and point out that Russia, facing defeats on the battlefield, might itself detonate “dirty bomb“, to sow terror or even go a step further and activate its nuclear weapons

The Russian defense minister had another series of phone calls. This time with his counterparts in China and India to whom he expressed Moscow’s concerns. For his part, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called Russia’s accusations “absurd”. In particular, he emphasized:

“The Allies reject this blatantly false accusation and Russia must stop using false pretenses to further escalate the war.” However, despite the West’s denial, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that Moscow insists on a drastic response from the international community.

In Kiev, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov believes that the Russian president will not use nuclear weapons, despite the fact that Vladimir Putin last September underlined that “if the territorial integrity of Russia is threatened, we will protect it with all the means we have.” we have”, even adding that he is not bluffing.

The High Representative for EU Foreign Policy, Joseph Borel speaking to the British BBC he spoke of a dangerous moment since, as he explained, the Russian military appears cornered and Putin’s position regarding the possible use of nuclear weapons if Russia is threatened is a bad sign.

The UN Security Council will meet again today, Thursday, with Moscow calling for a special commission to investigate the United States’ development of biological weapons labs in Ukraine. This issue was brought up by Russia again at the United Nations last March.

The West is demanding proof of Russia’s claims with Moscow providing no evidence beyond its persistent… insistence over the past 24 hours. Analysts are talking about a new round of terror politics by Russia, which is being pushed into the battlefield and is only winning on the front of economic strangulation of Ukraine by striking its energy infrastructure and extorting corrections from the country’s grain export agreement.
