Pakistan aiding Ukraine to make dirty bomb: Russian state-run news

The Russian state-run news agency reported that Ukrainian experts visited Pakistan and met with a delegation there to talk about technology and know-how for making nuclear weapons.

The accusation follows Russia’s claim that Ukraine is producing “dirty bombs” in an effort to exacerbate the conflict.

A “dirty bomb” is a device that also includes radioactive isotopes in addition to the usual explosive charge. When the charge explodes, the container is destroyed, and the radioactive material is then dispersed by a shockwave that contaminates both the immediate region and locations far from the explosion.

As part of the Ukrainian dossier special project, Morozov made the accusations during a press conference. He claimed that Ukraine’s ability to produce a “dirty bomb” is not a secret, but he questioned those involved in the effort.

Morozov alleged that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is in talks with his counterparts in the UK and the US discussing the issue of nuclear weapons. “A low-yield nuclear charge can be used with the Tochka-U ammunition,” Morozov said.

Given that China and Russia have only gotten closer since Russian President Vladimir Putin began the alleged “military action” in Ukraine, Pakistan may wind up upsetting China.

China has called for diplomacy and communication, but despite the challenge of being isolated by the US and the West, it nevertheless maintains close connections with Russia.

As previously reported by Russian news outlets, the UK now uses Pakistan’s Noor Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi as a vital base to assist in the shipment of military supplies for the Ukrainian Army.
