We have been reporting on Russian claims that Kyiv is preparing to use “dirty bombs,” which are explosives laced with radioactive material.
The claims were made by Russia’s defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, and were later repeated by Russia’s UN ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia.
But the West has rejected the claims as false and said they are part of a disinformation campaign.
Now, Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba has said that experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are expected to arrive in Ukraine “shortly” amid the claims.
He said the experts will “prove Ukraine has neither any dirty bombs nor plans to develop them”.
