Putin using dirty bomb claim to blackmail world into negotiations

Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov has argued that Russia is trying to”blackmail” the world into negotiations by raising the possibility of a dirty bomb a device that includes a mixture of radioactive and explosive material. Speaking to reporters in Kyiv, Mr Reznikov claimed that Moscow was trying o distract from the failure of the Russian partial mobilisation and prevent western nations sending more weapons to Ukraine.Mr Reznikov argued that Russia was hoping that panic around talk of a dirty bomb would open the possibility of negotiations that would allow it to keep the areas that it already controlled.He said: “You can try to hear them – Lavrov, Shoigu and others.”All Kremlin gangsters trying to deliver [the message] to your capitals that they are ready for negotiation.”It’s interesting because they see that the mobilisation campaign is a big fail for them.
