Mykola Patrushev, seen as the obvious successor to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his “superhawk” on foreign policy, threatened on Friday that a radioactive cloud was approaching Europe after Russian forces blew up a warehouse in Ukraine containing depleted uranium munitions. unconfirmed information.

“Their destruction led to the fact that the radioactive cloud was directed towards Western Europe,” Patrushev emphasized during the meeting held in the city of Syktyvkar Komi region of Russia, reports TASS. He also reported that there is already an increase in radioactivity in Poland.

We emphasize that no authorized body has announced anything like this, and the alleged information appeared only in the Russian press, based on these statements of the President of the Security Council of Russia, Patrushev.

For example, the largest Russian news agency of the Ural region Ura.ru writes that “earlier it became known that an explosion at a warehouse of depleted uranium ammunition in Khmelnytskyi caused mass panic among residents of Western Ukraine. Citizens began to leave dangerous areas en masse.”

This information, in turn, falls into the category of a propaganda war waged by Moscow, Patrushev being its central pawn in terms of news for internal use in Russia.

Patrushev threatened the Americans with the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano

For example, in March of this year, he said that Russia “has a unique modern weapon capable of destroying any enemy, including the United States, in the event of a threat to its existence,” without giving any details about what type of weapon it is. .

Earlier in May, he took aim at the United States again, saying that instead of thinking about new ways to sanction Russia, they should be more concerned about the super eruption of the Yellowstone volcano because it will wipe them off the face of the earth.

“At the same time, in connection with their Yellowstone, I would like to wish the American authorities to remember folk wisdom more often. An English proverb says: “People who live in glass houses should not throw stones,” he added.

He continued:

“Washington, which decides the fate of other states and peoples, should remember that the ancient Romans lived well in Pompeii and were not against debauchery. By the way, some in America claim that with a possible eruption, Eastern Europe and Siberia will become the safest places in the world.”
