The minister also announced a conversation with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, during which he intends to talk about "another act of Russian nuclear blackmail and the response of the free world."
On 23 October, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu called his counterparts in the United Kingdom, the United States, Turkey and France, telling them about the alleged Ukrainian "dirty bomb". The US, the UK and France jointly rejected this lie.
Earlier, Kremlin-aligned Russian news agency RIA Novosti, which is known for spreading disinformation and propaganda, published a report about Ukraine's alleged possible use of a "dirty bomb".
According to propagandists, Ukraine is preparing to "detonate a nuclear bomb" on its territory to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction and turn the whole world against Moscow. This information was simultaneously distributed by all well-known Russian propaganda media within an hour.
