Biden warns Russia not to use a dirty bomb: "You would be making an incredibly serious mistake"

MADRID, 25 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of the United States, Joe Biden, has warned the Russian authorities that if they use a dirty bomb in the framework of the war in Ukraine, they would be making "an incredibly serious mistake".

Biden acknowledged on Tuesday that he had spent "a lot of time" talking about the possibility that, with his denunciations of Ukraine's alleged plans to use a dirty bomb, Russia is really paving the way for a false flag attack.

"Let me say that Russia would be making an incredibly serious mistake if it used a tactical nuclear weapon," the US president told the media, according to the Bloomberg news agency.

Biden has stressed that, for the moment, the United States is not in a position to ensure that it is, or is not, a false flag operation.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu contacted his American counterpart, Lloyd Austin, and his main counterparts in the European Union over the weekend to warn of Ukraine's alleged plans to use a dirty bomb.

The main Western powers have rejected these warnings from Russia, which they have also interpreted as part of the preparations for a false flag operation by the Kremlin with which to accuse kyiv.

A dirty nuclear bomb, or dirty bomb, as it is described by international organizations, is an explosive device capable of dispersing radioactive material, whose destructive capacity is significantly less than that of a nuclear weapon designed for this specific purpose but which, in any case, represents a serious threat due to its polluting nature.

Russia had previously expressed its fear of this situation by accusing kyiv in October of trying to turn the Zaporizhia nuclear plant into a "dirty nuclear bomb" through constant attacks on the facilities and their surroundings, of which kyiv and Moscow They blame each other.
