Once again, Moscow warns that Kiev is preparing a provocation of immeasurable scale, which involves detonating a "dirty bomb" on its own territory.

  • Kremlin: Dismissing Kiev's 'Dirty Bomb' plans is unacceptable
    Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov 

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that denying Kiev's plans to create a "dirty bomb" is unacceptable considering the extent of the danger Moscow is referring to.

In an address to France, the UK, the US, and Turkey on Sunday, Moscow warned that Kiev was preparing a provocation of immeasurable scale which involves detonating a "dirty bomb" on its own territory.

The purpose of doing so is to get Moscow falsely blamed for using weapons of mass destruction.

So far, all parties have denied that the allegations are true, including Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

"This approach is far from serious. This approach, which, I would say, is unacceptable given the seriousness of the danger we are talking about. We leave it, as they say, on the conscience of these telephone interlocutors and those who made statements," Peskov told reporters.

"And once again we emphasize the great danger that lies in the implementation of the very plans that are recorded among the Ukrainians, associated with a 'dirty bomb'," he added.

Considering that the UK appointed a new Prime Minister today, Peskov was asked if prospects to improve relations between Moscow and London are positive, to which he answered, "No, at the moment, we do not see any prerequisites, there are no grounds, no hopes that there will be any positive developments in the foreseeable future. Russia maintains its openness and readiness to discuss the most difficult issues at the negotiating table, but not to the detriment of its own interests."

With regard to the gas market, Peskov also said Turkey is now in a dominant position, which could potentially lead to manipulations, considering it is one of the largest recipients of Russian gas.

"Our Turkish partners understand this, we understand this too, so we see no grounds for such concern here," Peskov said, adding that "there is a conjuncture, a global environment for gas trade, and, of course, no one is going to go beyond the limits of reason."

He further pointed out that if required, the TurkStream gas pipeline can be expanded.

"In fact, we are now connected with Turkey by one of the largest gas pipeline systems — the TurkStream, which has a serious potential for expansion if necessary," Peskov said.

On October 14, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced his support for the Kremlin's idea of creating an international gas hub in Turkey and ordered his government to immediately present executive plans.

"We have a national distribution centre, but of course now this will be an international distribution centre," Erdogan told reporters. "There will be no waiting on this issue."

Gas prices have been increasing since February, and Europe has been scurrying to find alternative energy supplies after their own refusal to pay for Russian gas in rubles - and now, after the 2 pipelines have been bombed.
