"We remain committed to continue supporting Ukraine's efforts to defend its territory for as long as it takes," the ministers said.

"Earlier today, the defense ministers of each of our countries spoke to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu at his request. Our countries made clear that we all reject Russia's transparently false allegations that Ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb on its own territory. The world would see through any attempt to use this allegation as a pretext for escalation. We further reject any pretext for escalation by Russia," the statement emphasized.

On Sunday, russia's defense minister called at least four defense ministers of NATO countries (USA, France, Turkey, and the UK) and talked about the Ukrainian "dirty bomb."

Before that, the russian state news agency RIA Novosti, known for spreading disinformation and propaganda, published a message about Ukraine's alleged possible use of a "dirty bomb."

According to propagandists, Ukraine is preparing to "detonate a nuclear bomb" on its territory to accuse russia of using weapons of mass destruction and turn the whole world against Moscow. This information was spread synchronously by all known russian propaganda media within an hour.
