Senior Russian military officials are now discussing when and how to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. It has been claimed in a report. It added that the topic of discussion by Russian military officials is now focused on the use of nuclear weapons. The US has already warned that Russia may use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Now, these recent discussions have added to the concern.
The New York Times, however, said in its report that Russian President Vladimir Putin was not a part of the meeting. According to the report, the meeting suggests that Putin's repeated statements about the use of nuclear weapons may be more than a threat. It added that the discussion has also worried the Joe Biden administration. Russian discussions on possible nuclear weapons use in Ukraine have also pointed to its defeat. Russian generals are frustrated by their failures on the battlefield, so they are talking about the use of nuclear weapons.
However, US officials told the newspaper that there was still no evidence that Russia was deploying its nuclear weapons or preparing for an attack. The report also said that intelligence about the conversations of Russian military officers was circulated inside the US government in mid-October. CIA Director William J. Burns previously said that Vladimir Putin's "potential desperation" to achieve victory and Russia's failures in the war could prompt Russia to use nuclear weapons. UN nuclear agency begins probe into Russian claim of 'dirty bomb'
Experts from the UN's Atomic Energy Agency are inspecting two sites on Tuesday that Russia claimed were making "dirty bombs". Meanwhile, Ukraine's presidential office said Russia launched attacks targeting eight regions of southeastern Ukraine, killing at least four civilians and wounding four others in 24 hours. Thousands of people are facing a power and water crisis due to Russian attacks on energy infrastructure in 10 regions on Monday.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Mariano Grossi said in a statement that inspections at two sites in Ukraine had begun and would be completed soon. Ukraine requested an inspection in the wake of Russia's allegations. Top Russian officials, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, alleged that Ukraine was preparing to use a so-called 'dirty bomb'. A 'dirty bomb' is an explosive containing radioactive material.
Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Vasily Nebanzia, in a letter to the Security Council last week accused Ukraine's nuclear research center and mining company of the regime of (President Volodymyr) Zelensky for "developing a dirty bomb". Russia, without providing evidence, alleged that Ukraine was also planning to make such an alleged bomb as Russia. Western countries rejected the allegation and called it completely false.
