No evidence of a ‘dirty bomb’ was found by its independent inspectors International Atomic Energy Agency in Ukraine. The completion of inspections by inspectors at three locations in Ukraine, at Kiev’s request, proved Moscow’s propaganda narrative, but also the danger lurking as the Kremlin looks for a foothold to escalate and generalize. the war.
Ukraine made the request after Russia made allegations of activities related to the possible production of “dirty bombs” at three locations: the Institute of Nuclear Research in Kyivthe eastern mining and processing plant in Zhovti Vody and Production Association Pivdennyi Machine-Building Plant in Dniproaccording to the IAEA.
“Over the past few days, the inspectors have been able to carry out all the activities that the IAEA had planned to carry out and were given unfettered access to the sites. “Based on the assessment of the results available to date and the information provided by Ukraine, the Agency found no evidence of undeclared nuclear activities and materials at the sites,” the IAEA statement said.
