Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu spoke on the phone with his British counterpart Ben Wallace on Sunday about the situation in Ukraine, AFP reported in a statement from the Russian army.
During this rare telephone conversation, which took place after a conversation with French and Turkish colleagues, Shoigu conveyed to Wallace “his concern about possible provocations by Ukraine using a ‘dirty bomb,'” the report said.
Shoigu also relayed the same to French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecorne, providing no evidence to support the suggestion that Ukraine might use such weapons.
A so-called dirty bomb (radiological weapon) uses conventional explosives mixed with radioactive material.
The Ministry of Defense in Moscow did not provide additional information on its statement, Reuters also noted.
