Details: Lavrov said that the possibility that Ukraine may use a "dirty bomb" (a lie spread by Russia) will be discussed at the UN Security Council "today or tomorrow."

Previously: On Monday [24 October], Valery Gerasimov, the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, called Tony Radakin, the UK’s chief of the Defence Staff, accusing Ukraine of intending to use a "dirty bomb".
Later on Monday [24 October], Gerasimov called his American counterpart Mark Milley to discuss the same baseless accusations against Ukraine
Earlier, Sergei Shoigu, Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, had similar telephone conversations on this topic with Western ministers. On Sunday [23 October], he called at least three defence ministers of NATO member states (France, Turkey and the United Kingdom) last week to tell them about the alleged "dirty bomb".
The US, UK and France have jointly rejected these claims as false.
