Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his claim of a 'dirty bomb' on the 26th, and the West called Russia's 'false flags operation' and a media battle grew and spread to the Korean Peninsula.
"We are aware of Ukraine's plans to use Dirty Bomb," Putin said at a videoconference with the heads of intelligence agencies of the CIS, a meeting of the former Soviet Union. As reported by Voice of America (VOA).
Sputnik news agency said, "Ukraine could load a missile disguised as a Russian-made missile with dirty balm, blow it up in key areas, detonate it, and then place the blame on Russia," citing an anonymous source. "The warhead will be filled with radioactive material," he reported.
VOA said 'Yuzmash' to a Ukrainian defense company that 'Iskander' is Russia's main tactical ballistic missile.
"Western officials quickly rejected Russian claims that Ukraine planned to use so-called dirty bombs on its territory over the weekend," the New York Times Pentagon correspondent said in a statement. A dirty bomb that can be made out of radioactive material has become the object of fear as a boogeyman in the public consciousness.”
Of the 'dirty bomb', the New York Times reported, "The official name is the Radioactive Dispersion Device (R.D.D), an improvised bomb that uses a conventional high explosive to spread radioactive material to the surrounding area." The following explosives have less radioactive mass.”
VOA said 'fake flag' is a military strategy term that pretends that the opponent acted first and manipulates the attack as an excuse. Under the pretext, it could be a signal that the Russian military will use nuclear weapons in the near future.”
The NYT described the 'dirty bomb' as "if everything works correctly and there is a potential spot for an improvised bomb, the dirty bomb explodes radioactive material into small pieces and sends it into the surrounding air, causing local contamination, not a global problem," a 2004 US military paper said. This “economic psychosocial impact is likely to be the most severe mechanism of damage from the use of R.D.D.” he wrote.
The New York Times reported that "fears of ionizing radiation are deeply ingrained in the Cold War and are irrationally carried over."
"According to government documents, the U.S. military tested a radioactive dispersing device at the Dougway Probing Ground in Utah from 1948 to 1952, according to government documents, but the work was eventually abandoned," said reporter John Ismay. Outside of testing, there is no evidence that the U.S. or any other military has deployed such weapons for use in combat.”

Sputnik news agency said, "The Ukrainian-made Iskander counterfeit is based on the 'Torchika-U' missile system. It was obtained through wiretapping and intelligence surveillance,” VOA reported.

"We have always had the opportunity to have dialogue with both the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea," Putin said at a meeting of the Baldai Club in Moscow on the 27th. We know. This will destroy our (Korea-Russia) relationship," VOA reported on the 28th.

He continued, "If we resume cooperation with North Korea in this area (weapons and military), how will South Korea react?"

On the 28th, President Yoon Seok-yeol responded to a question about Putin's remarks, saying, "There is no fact that we have provided lethal weapons to Ukraine."

North Korea shows a link to Russia's tactical nuclear strategy by showing preparations for ballistic missile and nuclear tests during Russia's Grom nuclear exercise.
