Russia is to make spurious claims that Ukraine will drop a 'dirty bomb' to the United Nations Security Council, according to reports.
Vasily Nebenzya, the nation's permanent representative on the council, will call on the UN's chief secretary Antonio Guterres to do "everything in his power" to prevent a nuclear-laced weapon being used by Kyiv - despite presenting no evidence so far they are planning to do so.
"We will regard the use of the "dirty bomb" by the Kiev regime as an act of nuclear terrorism," he wrote in a letter seen by Reuters on Monday.
