Nato’s secretary general has warned Russia over its “false” claim that Kyiv might use a “dirty bomb” – conventional explosives laced with radioactive material.
Jens Stoltenberg tweeted that the Nato allies “reject this allegation” and “Russia must not use it as a pretext for escalation”.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu made the dirty bomb remarks in a call with his UK counterpart Ben Wallace.
Ukraine also condemned the remarks.
