Russian claims Ukraine could use 'dirty bomb' dismissed by West and branded 'nuclear blackmail'

Summary by Ground News

Russia claims Ukraine could use a "dirty bomb" in the war. As its forces risk being routed in the south near the city of Kherson, Moscow has suggested that Kyiv could use such a blast on its own territory - without offering evidence. The claim was strongly refuted by US officials on Sunday as a Russian false flag operation.
