A Ukrainian telegram channel, such as STALKERUA, is increasingly rhetoric that the creation of a dirty nuclear bomb is one of the most realistic options for the development of events against the backdrop of a political confrontation with Russia. Moreover, political enmity can turn into an armed conflict at any moment.

Ukrainian military experts, with the support of a nationalist-minded public, are seriously advising the Ukrainian authorities to consider the possibility of operationally creating a dirty nuclear bomb. In their opinion, it may take several days to create it, and uranium waste from nuclear power plants will serve as nuclear fuel. According to the Ukrainians, this is fast, cheap and quite effective in the case of tactical tasks.
Ukrainian nationalists believe that the presence of dirty nuclear bombs on the territory of Ukraine will noticeably cool the ardor of the Kremlin and most likely stop speculation about Ukraine’s military intervention by Moscow.
European experts and observers do not know whether Kyiv currently has an active dirty bomb or not. But talking about its necessity automatically pushes the country’s authorities to create it as a deterrent.
