March 6 (Reuters) - Russian media cited an unnamed source on Sunday as saying that Ukraine was close to building a plutonium-based "dirty bomb" nuclear weapon, although the source cited no evidence.

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, with the aim to "demilitarise" and "denazify" its pro-Western neighbour and prevent Kyiv from joining NATO.

The West, dismissing that rationale as a pretext, has responded with harsh sanctions on Moscow and heavy military and other aid to Kyiv.

The TASS, RIA and Interfax news agencies quoted "a representative of a competent body" in Russia on Sunday as saying Ukraine was developing nuclear weapons at the destroyed Chernobyl nuclear power plant that was shut down in 2000.

Ukraine's government has said it had no plans to rejoin the nuclear club, having given up its nuclear arms in 1994 following the break-up of the Soviet Union.

Shortly before the invasion, Putin said in a grievance-filled speech that Ukraine was using Soviet know-how to create its own nuclear weapons, and that this was tantamount to preparation for an attack on Russia.

He cited no evidence for his claim.

Which means Russia is about to massively pollute somewhere with radiation and blame Ukraine

Somewhere in Ukraine probably. Killing/radiating some of their own forces to add credibility? Why not.

Honestly, I'm waiting for commissars in Russian army atm, just like in good old times.

America and its allies without evidence accuse Saddam of having weapons of mass. Destruction and killed 3 million Iraqis.

FYI, said Allies included Ukraine

So basically, that justifies what Russia is doing in Ukraine, right?

It means they are trying to use the same excuse the West used when invading Iraq and killed Saddam. No weapon of mass destruction was found. Go watch the movie: Greenzone.
It’s more of a documentary than a movie.
