The senior officer echoed concerns voiced by Defense Minister Shoigu on Sunday - namely that Kiev was "planning a provocation involving the detonation of a so-called 'dirty bomb', or a low-yield nuclear weapon," and then claiming that the explosion was caused by a Russian tactical nuclear weapon.

TrittNG:

"The purpose of such a provocation is to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction in the Ukrainian theater of operations and thereby launch a powerful anti-Russian campaign throughout the world aimed at undermining global confidence in Moscow," Kirillov said.

TrittNG:

Russia's nuclear doctrine forbids the use of nuclear weapons of any kind - tactical or strategic, unless nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction are used against the country first, or in the event of a conventional attack so severe that it threatens the country's existence.

Details

According to the Russian military's information, Kiev has the technological potential and industrial base necessary to create a dirty bomb. This includes over 1,500 tons-worth of spent nuclear fuel from the country's three operational nuclear plants, plus 22,000 spent fuel assemblies from the defunct Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant containing Uranium-238, as well as other nuclear materials containing Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239. Radioactive agents from the South Ukrainian, Khmelnitsky and Rivne nuclear plants contain uranium oxide enriched to 1.5 percent.

Additional infrastructure which could aid in the production of a dirty bomb includes the new Vector radioactive waste processing plant at the Prydneprovsky Chemical Plant in Kamenskoe, central Ukraine, which has the capacity to accommodate over 50,000 cubic meters of radioactive materials, as well as the Vostochny Mining and Processing Plant, which can extract up to 1,000 tons of uranium ore per year.

On top of that, Ukraine has the necessary scientific base - including the legendary Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology, whose scientists took part in the Soviet nuclear program, plus the Uragan experimental nuclear facility, and the Institute for Nuclear Research at the National Academy of Sciences in Kiev, where research involving highly radioactive materials is being carried out using the WWR-M reactor.

"According to the information we have, two Ukrainian organizations have specific instructions to create a so-called dirty bomb. Work on this project is at the final stage," Kirillov said.

The officer warned that the explosion of a radioactive dirty bomb on Ukrainian territory would spread radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere a distance of up to 1,500 km, spreading into neighboring countries, including Poland.

Syria False Flag

Kirillov recalled that Kiev's suspected preparations to use a dirty bomb are nothing new, and that "similar information warfare technologies have already been used by the West in Syria, where the White Helmets filmed propaganda videos about the use of chemical weapons by government forces," culminating in US air and cruise missile strikes against the country in 2017. 

TrittNG:

The officer warned that a "similar scenario" may be employed in the event of a false flag attack involving the destruction of a radioactive dirty bomb.
He also recalled Zelensky's comments at the Munich Security Conference in February, just days before Russia kicked off its military operation in Ukraine, in which the Ukrainian president hinted at Kiev's plans to restore the country's status as a nuclear weapons power.

TrittNG:

The Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops head stressed that the Russian military has organized work to counter any provocations, and readied forces and means "to perform tasks in conditions of radioactive contamination."

Kirillov's comments on the danger of a Ukrainian dirty bomb false flag were echoed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov earlier in the day Monday. Peskov told reporters that Russia has presented its findings, and that it is up to Western leaders to chose whether they wanted to believe Moscow or not. 

TrittNG:

Lavrov said the foreign ministry has "specific information" on the Ukrainian scientific institutions that could be used to build a dirty bomb, and vowed to bring attention to the matter at the United Nations.

Politics in EU Getting Increasingly Detached From Reality - Hungary Justice Minister

TrittNG:

Politics is increasingly detached from reality in the European Union as the bloc’s bureaucrats push a so-called "progressive" agenda to weaken the nation states and the institutions of family, the Christian religion and the traditional communities across the European continent, Hungary's Minister of Justice Judit Varga said.

TrittNG:

"Politics is detached from reality in Europe," Varga told a meeting at the Heritage Foundation on Monday. "Media and politics are in an ivory tower. Reality knocks at the doors. ... There is a constant attempt to demolish the building blocks of the nation, the family, the church and the community. I see a lot of danger."

TrittNG:

Varga said EU officials are continually creating new laws and regulations that erode the powers of nation states within the bloc and weaken their ability to protect their own societies.
"They are touching on the sovereignty of nations. We are ending up in a situation where we have no tools any more to protect our nation state," she said.

Approaching a significant escalation? Russia's ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, sent a letter to the UN Secretary General and the Security Council in which he warns: "We will regard the use of the 'dirty bomb' by the Kyiv regime as an act of nuclear terrorism."

He also writes there: "We urge the countries "The West will exert their influence on the regime in Kiev to abandon its dangerous plans that threaten international peace and stability. They will have serious consequences and will cause a huge number of victims among its civilian population."
