MOSCOW
Sergei Naryshkin, head of the SVR Foreign Intelligence Service has denied any Russian nuclear rhetoric, even though there’s been plenty, BBC reported Monday.
“Will you state categorically that Russia will not use nuclear weapons in Ukraine or engage in other provocative actions, such as exploding a dirty bomb, or blowing up a dam?” BBC’s correspondent asked Mr Naryshkin, according to the news agency.
“We are, of course, very concerned about Western rhetoric about the possibility of using nuclear weapons,” Sergei Naryshkin said, according to the BBC.
“Yesterday Russia’s defence minister talked by phone with his colleagues from Turkey, the US and France. He told them about the possible plans of the Ukrainian leadership to use a so-called ‘dirty nuclear bomb’,” Mr Naryshkin continued.
