Russian diplomats briefed UN Security Council members on Russia’s intelligence that Ukraine is working on a dirty bomb in a closed-door session on Oct. 25. At its conclusion, Russia’s First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy told reporters that Russia was “satisfied” with the results of the briefing.
“I am quite satisfied. We wanted to raise this issue, explain our position to the colleagues, appeal to their responsible attitude. I think we have got what we wanted. Of course, Western countries are mostly saying that this is all Russian propaganda.… But we are quite satisfied, because we raised their awareness of this fact. If this all does not happen, I do not mind people saying that Russia is crying wolf, because we are speaking about a terrible disaster that might potentially threaten the whole Earth. So the price is rather low—just several accusations.”
