Russia Took Its Accusation That Ukraine Was Preparing To Use A Dirty Bomb To The United Nations Security Council

Reuters: Russia Raises Accusation at U.N. of Ukraine 'Dirty Bomb' Plans 

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Russia on Tuesday took its accusation that Ukraine was preparing to use a dirty bomb - an explosive device laced with radioactive material - to the United Nations Security Council, voicing its concerns during a closed-door meeting of the 15-member body. 

"We're quite satisfied because we raised the awareness," Russia's Deputy U.N. Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy told reporters. 

"I don't mind people saying that Russia is crying wolf if this doesn't happen because this is a terrible, terrible disaster that threatens potentially the whole of the Earth." 

Russia has alleged that Kyiv has ordered two organizations to create a dirty bomb, without giving any evidence. 

Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia sent a letter to the United Nations on Monday detailing the accusations.
