Kyiv Dismisses Russia's Nuclear Weapons Claim as 'Absurd'

Ukraine has dismissed as "absurd" Russia's claim that Kyiv is trying to acquire nuclear weapons with the help of Britain and France. A spokesperson for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry described the claims as an attempt to revive the propaganda about a "dirty bomb". Ukraine calls on the international community to reject and condemn Russia's "dirty information bombs". Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) accused Britain and France of secretly preparing to supply Ukraine with nuclear weapons components and technology, without providing any evidence. Britain has not yet responded to the Russian claim, while France called it a "blatant lie" through its embassy in Moscow. These claims come at a time of heightened tension between the two countries, with Russia trying to justify its actions in Ukraine. Ukraine has repeatedly assured the international community that it has no intention of acquiring nuclear weapons and that it respects international agreements on nuclear disarmament.
