Russia has threatened Ukraine with the use of a “clean bomb” if Ukraine dares to use a “dirty bomb” against Moscow. Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president and deputy head of the country’s Security Council, has said Russia won’t hesitate to retaliate.

This news comes on the heels of the announcement from the United States that it has attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities, shoving the empire into the middle of a brewing world war. Medvedev issued the warning on Saturday, just before the U.S. attacked Iran. He stated that the “possible attempts by the enemy to create and use a so-called dirty bomb” would meet a “proportional” response from Moscow.

This is not the first time Russia has warned of the use of dirty bombs either.

Russia Accuses Ukraine Of Planning To Use A “Dirty Bomb”

While writing out what Russia would use if Ukraine deployed a dirty bomb, Medvedev wrote on Telegram: ”With what? With a clean bomb: Tactical nuclear weapons. We have enough of them.”

”I will keep silent about the consequences for future life and the environment. But the sick perverts in Kiev with their twisted imagination should have a good idea of it. Let them take a walk in the Chernobyl exclusion zone and watch those colorful TV series,” he added, apparently referring to the HBO miniseries.

”Our response will be very harsh and, most likely, catastrophic for both the neo-Nazi regime and, unfortunately, for Ukraine itself. I hope that they will never come to that,” Putin said, adding that Moscow currently has no evidence that Kiev is attempting to create and use a dirty bomb.

Russia Claims Ukraine Considered Using A “Dirty Bomb” Attack

In February, the former Russian leader suggested that Ukraine could use a dirty bomb, including in a false-flag attack to frame Moscow, in order to derail the negotiation process. According to a report by RT, Vladimir Zelensky could “create any provocation to upend a settlement and prolong the war to the last Ukrainian,” Medvedev warned.
