Russia’s nuclear blackmail: Kuleba, Colonna coordinate steps within UN and IAEA

Ukrinform
The Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and France, Dmytro Kuleba and Catherine Colonna, coordinated next steps in the work with other countries and within the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to counter Russia’s nuclear blackmail.

The Ukrainian minister wrote this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

“I spoke to my French counterpart Catherine Colonna. We both condemned Russia’s ‘dirty bomb’ disinformation campaign. We also coordinated next steps in our work with other countries and within the UN and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).  To counter these lies and avert any false flag operations by Russia,” Kuleba wrote.

As reported by Ukrinform, on October 23, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said he had held phone talks with France’s defense minister Sébastien Lecornu, Turkey’s Hulusi Akar, and Britain’s Ben Wallace. During the talks, Shoigu expressed “concerns over the alleged possible use of a ‘dirty bomb’ by Ukraine”.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia's statements about the alleged use of a "dirty bomb" by Ukraine indicate that Russia has already prepared all this. Therefore, the world must react to that in the toughest possible way.
