US President Against Using Nuclear Weapons In War With Ukraine Joe Biden warned Russia that using nuclear weapons strategically would be a serious mistake. He was talking to the media after receiving the booster dose of the fifth covid vaccine.
Russia has accused Ukraine of preparing a ‘dirty bomb’ attack on its own soil. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has told the UK Defense Secretary that he is concerned about Ukraine taking provocative steps, including the use of ‘dirty bombs’. But neither the minister nor Russia has released any evidence in this regard.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the world should be careful against the ‘dirty bomb’ used by Russia. Meanwhile, the US and its allies suspect that Russia may use the ‘dirty bomb’ to justify a nuclear attack on eastern and southern Ukraine. A ‘dirty bomb’ is a conventional bomb containing radioactive, biological or chemical material that spreads in an explosion.
How dangerous are dirty bombs?
Estimate the danger from dirty bombs depending on how much radioactive material was used during construction. Certain external factors, including wind, may also increase the risk. Studies show that dirty bombs are more polluting in windy areas. Most of the time these do not cause death if the pollution is low. But these can cause lasting trauma in people.
