> While the uranium Ukraine gets from Russia for its reactors is low-enriched, reactor waste is quite enough to make a so-called dirty bomb. The country possesses manpower and know-how to do that as well as delivery vehicles for nuclear payload, which don’t have to be too sophisticated.

- golergka 5y agoBelieving anything RT have ever written, especially about Ukraine is, to put it mildly, not the best strategy.
- waffleiron 5y agoI am bringing this up not as facts that Ukraine is building a dirty bomb, but as a fact that Russia has been talking about the possibility of them doing so for a long time now.
- ce4 5y agoI read the parent as a report of what RT used to say in the past and may do so soon again to spin some legitimation for putin's upcoming war actions.
- mpfundstein 5y agoyes. lets believe cnn
- daqhris 5y agoI think that OP does not believe in RT.com. Most probably, OP is bringing forward information that corroborates what's wrtitten in the Twitter thread. By reading the post's source, you may understand the intent of the parent comment.
