Ukraine’s activities in the field of radiation safety, including attempts at nuclear blackmail by Kiev, are no less serious concerns than the Pentagon’s work on the basis of Ukrainian biolaboratories, the military told a briefing, adding that there are risks of creating a so-called dirty bomb with its subsequent use “under a false flag.”Kiev plans to drop shells filled with chemical warfare agents from drones, the senior military said, adding that in case of a radiation accident on the Russian-Ukrainian border, radioactive substances would cover a significant part of Ukraine and Europe.

The Security Service of Ukraine has simulated the explosion of a dirty bomb based on ionizing radiation sources in a crowded place, head of the Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian armed forces Major General Aleksei Rtishchev said on Friday.
Ukraine’s activities in the field of radiation safety, including attempts at nuclear blackmail by Kiev, are no less serious concerns than the Pentagon’s work on the basis of Ukrainian biolaboratories, the military told a briefing, adding that there are risks of creating a so-called dirty bomb with its subsequent use “under a false flag.”
“This is evidenced by the training methods available to us for representatives of the Security Service of Ukraine. One of the training areas simulates the situation with the theft of ionizing radiation sources, the manufacture of an explosive device and its detonation in a place of mass gathering of people,” Rtishchev said, adding that not only spent nuclear fuel, but also graduated radioactive sources can be used to create such devices.
Kiev plans to drop shells filled with chemical warfare agents from drones, the senior military said, adding that in case of a radiation accident on the Russian-Ukrainian border, radioactive substances would cover a significant part of Ukraine and Europe. The risks of contamination of the Dnieper and the Black Sea by radioactive decay products of uranium from the Dnepr chemical plant in Ukraine are growing.
“Thus, the military and financial assistance of the West provokes numerous violations by the Kiev regime of international standards for the handling of nuclear materials. At the same time, Western ‘patrons’ do not take into account that the degradation of the public administration system can bring not only Ukraine, but also a number of European states to the brink of an environmental catastrophe,” Rtishchev said.
Andriy Yermak, the former head of the Ukrainian president’s office, personally oversaw the organizational, logistical, and financial aspects of importing spent nuclear fuel into Ukraine without notifying the IAEA, Major General Alexei Rtishchev said.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) may be involved in testing pharmaceutical drugs on the Ukrainian population, Alexei Rtishchev added.
He noted that the involvement of the US Department of Defense in activities at Ukrainian biolaboratories has been repeatedly confirmed by US officials, including National Security Council Coordinator John Kirby, Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, and current Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In early February, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio notified Congress that a review of USAID’s foreign assistance activities was underway, with an eye toward a potential reorganization. In late March, Rubio announced that the Department of State had informed Congress of its plan to take over certain functions of USAID and phase out the remaining ones by July 1.
