Kyiv says Russia may be planning provocations with conventional explosives with radioactive material.
Ukraine has condemned unsubstantiated claims by Russia that Kyiv might use a "dirty bomb" - conventional explosives laced with radioactive material.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu made the dirty bomb remarks in a call with his UK counterpart Ben Wallace.On Sunday, Mr Shoigu also held a flurry of phone calls with defence ministers of the US, France and Turkey, voicing Moscow's alarm. He provided no evidence to back up his accusations. Meanwhile, Mr Wallace said he refuted Mr Shoigu's allegations that "Ukraine was planning actions facilitated by Western countries, including the UK, to escalate the conflict in Ukraine".Similar comments were made by the US Secretary of Defence, Lloyd Austin, who spoke to Mr Shoigu on Sunday, in what was the second such phone call in days.
