Schoigu claims in a telephone call with Paris that Kyiy plans the detonation of a dirty bomb (conventional bomb spreading radioactive material) on its soil to discredit Moscow. He also says Kyiv had completed the construction of small tactical nukes, and further claims Kyiv againw nagst to detonate it on its soil to again discredit Moscow for it.

While i can imagine Kyiv to have build nuclear bombs (because thats what I would have secretly ordered, too, if I were in their place), I see the rest of Shoigu's claims as just another Russian attempt to prepare a false flag operation or to blackmail Ukraine, and especially the West by raising fears.

If there is a first nuke to go up, I am certain to 99+% that it will have been detonated by Russia.

The fallout from tactical nukes rather sooner than later washes away, they are designed to not contanimate the land for long time, but to be exactly like the opposite, since own troops are expected maybe to pass through short time later or fight on in that environment, the isotopes it emits are not the long-lasting dangerous isotopes like you would see after for example a reactor meltdown or the detonation of a strategic nuke. But a dirty bomb is meant to make the land it affects unusable for generations to come. It makes no sense to assume that Ukraine does that to its own soil, and especially near the Crimea which has some of the most fertile farming grounds in the agricultural world. You do that maybe to the enemy's land (which makes Russia the far more obvious suspect here), but not to your own.

Hungary will ratify applications of Sweden and Finland to join NATO by end of year, - Minister Gulyash

Hungary and Turkey are the only NATO countries that have not yet ratified the accession of Sweden and Finland to the alliance.

As Censor.NET reminds about this with a link to Politico.

The Government of Hungary supports the membership of Sweden and Finland in NATO and has submitted the ratification documents to the National Assembly, Minister, Chief of Staff of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Gergely Gulyash told journalists.

According to him, Hungary will ratify the accession to NATO of the two Scandinavian countries no later than mid-December.

When asked by a journalist whether NATO will become stronger after the accession of Finland and Sweden, Gulyash replied that he hopes so. He added that it was open to debate whether the expansion was in Hungary's national security interests, but said it was irrelevant now.

Recall that Finland and Sweden applied to join NATO after the start of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, but met resistance from Turkey, which accused them of supporting groups it considers terrorist. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3375723

Russian mobilized soldiers have problems with provision. Soldiers do not have military footwear in Kherson direction - General Staff

General Staff of AFU released information on situation with Russian mobilizers.

As informs Censor.NЕТ, it was reported in AFU General Staff official Facebook.

The report states: "Russian military command has problems with material support of mobilized citizens. Thus, in the Kherson direction, the mobilized Russian servicemen are poorly equipped, most of them do not have military shoes and other elements of uniform and equipment.

It is known that the mobilized personnel of the Russian occupation troops are sent to the war based on the operational situation. The command does not pay attention to their level of preparation. Thus, the Russian military leadership is trying to hold the front line. Due to the poor organization of interaction, there are numerous cases of so-called "friendly fire" between enemy units."

Russian Defense Minister arranges a telephone carousel and calls foreign ministers with stories about the so-called dirty nuclear bomb, - Zelenskyi. VIDEO

On October 23, 2022, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi made a traditional address to Ukrainians.

As informs Censor.NЕТ, it was reported in Volodymyr Zelenskyi official Facebook.

The statement reads: "When today the Russian Defense Minister arranges a telephone carousel and calls foreign ministers with stories about the so-called dirty nuclear bomb, everyone understands it perfectly well. They understand who is the source of everything dirty that can be imagined in this war.

Everywhere where Russia brought death and degradation, we are returning normal life. This is exactly about Ukrainians. Wherever Ukraine is, life is never destroyed.

But wherever Russia comes, it leaves mass graves, torture chambers, destroyed cities and villages, mined land, destroyed infrastructure and natural disasters. And if someone can use nuclear weapons in our part of Europe, it is only one entity - and this entity just ordered Comrade Shoygu to make a phone call somewhere.

I believe that now the world should react as tough as possible. If Russia has prepared another raising of the stakes and another escalation step - it must see now, preventively and before any new "dirt" of its own, that the world will not swallow it". Source: https://censor.net/en/v3375739
