The chief of Russia’s General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, relayed his concerns to his US and British counterparts in a rare phone call.

Moscow has discussed the threat of Kiev potentially using a “dirty bomb” with London and Washington at the level of the chiefs of the General Staff, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday. The Russian chief of defense, General Valery Gerasimov, raised his country’s concerns in a phone call with US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, after having a similar conversation with his British counterpart, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin.

The Pentagon only mentioned that the two generals discussed “several security-related issues of concern” without providing any further details. It was the first such conversation between Gerasimov and Milley since May.

The British Defence Ministry said the phone call between Radakin and Gerasimov took place “at the request of the Russian Ministry of Defense,” adding that the UK “rejected Russia’s allegations that Ukraine is planning actions to escalate the conflict.” Radakin also “restated the UK’s enduring support for Ukraine,” the ministry’s statement added.

London also agreed it was important to keep communication channels with Moscow open to “manage the risk of miscalculation and to facilitate de-escalation.” The developments came a day after Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu raised similar concerns in phone calls with the defense chiefs of the US, UK, and France.

Moscow has been warning Western nations about Kiev’s alleged plans to use a “dirty bomb” to frame Russia for quite some time. The West, however, has remained largely dismissive of such warnings.

Earlier on Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed that Kiev wants to frame Moscow as a “nuclear terrorist” by accusing it of using weapons of mass destruction and thus potentially launching a “powerful anti-Russia campaign.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also stated that the West’s disbelief in this scenario does not make the threat any less pressing.

Kiev has denied Moscow’s allegations. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky also said that the only side capable of launching an attack using nukes is Russia itself.

Meanwhile, the UN called on all sides of the conflict to show restraint. Stephane Dujarric, a spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, told a briefing on Monday that all parties should “avoid” any actions that could lead to miscalculation or further escalation of the already devastating conflict.

  1. Well, the deep state wants escalation and Zelensky was wanting nukes and mentioned it many times. UK is reportedly provided the means to make a dirty bomb. It is very likely, Zelensky will nuke his own people and make a false flag operation very soon. Biden is waiting for this so that the ongoing mid-term elections can be cancelled by US intervening in some form in the Ukranian conflict. The neonazis in Ukraine has found allies in the juice group that controls the Biden regime. Witches like Victoria Nuland got their own Russophobic hate and satanistic intentions. So there is a very real risk of some dirty bomb attack by the foriegn mercenaries who will do the work for the deep state. ????????????????????????????

  2. All over the world we have people in charge who are attacking and working against their own people including HERE IN NEW ZEALAND. I believe the Russians. It’s pretty obvious to anyone who is awake that Zelensky is working for the Americans and they don’t care who gets killed in the process. Get rid of the criminals in America (I just realised that’s another acronym for CIA along with cocaine importing agency lol) the Americans are despicable in what they are doing to start world war 3. If the war was on their own soil the American people would soon wake up.

    Silent weapons for quiet wars.

    It’s even happening here. They are poisoning the water and pitting races against each other. Look at the mess our health system is in. Hundreds of mandated staff, still unable to work. What is the reason? No one believes in the jab anymore yet still our stupid Govt would rather people die waiting to be seen than admit it’s a mess. What the actual F**K is wrong with these people???? Andrew Little is next level evil for allowing this to happen. Just let the mandated staff back FFS and get over your own sick ego. Time to bring in maximum term for MPs. Little, like Mallard is well over his time. He’s a failure at everything. EVERYTHING. ????

  3. So it appears the FSB has been keeping an ear on some NATO members, which prompted the British defence minister to hop on a plane to Washington for a private conversation. Their plan to assist Ukraine with a dirty bomb now clearly sprung. The more they dig in, the more insane their behaviour. And revealing.

    Pretty obvious now that the Yanks and EU don’t give a toss about Ukraine if they are preparing to turn parts of it (the new Russian parts) into a wasteland with, to all intents and purposes, a nuclear device. It puts their mindset on display for all to see. The only way to turn this around is to drop all sanctions immediately and get talking ASAP. The longer they stay in place the stronger Russian will be.
