Ukraine is asking Italy for anti-aircraft defense weapons , says President Volodymyr Zelensky .

And she refers to her telephone conversation with Giorgia Meloni : she said she was in favor of the "common alliance" in the EU and "assured full support against Russian aggression".

He also invited her to Kiev: "And she replied that she will come". "I think we have built an excellent relationship in continuity with the period started by Draghi", reflects the Ukrainian president in an interview with Corriere. To those who say that he is in Kiev seeking peace, Zelensky replies that he has always wanted to speak, "but not with the gun aimed at his head".

Meanwhile , the threat of the “dirty bomb” hovers over the conflict, a mix of explosives and radioactive material whose risks are linked to the devastating impact of the explosion while the damage linked to radioactivity is very limited and limited. It is therefore more of a psychological weapon , capable of terrorizing the population and disrupting the economic and health system, than a weapon of destruction.

According to Moscow, this is the "provocation" that Kiev is planning . Only Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky replies, would be capable of such a diabolical plan, while in a joint statement the French, British and American foreign ministers state that they will not be "fooled" by "Russia's blatantly false accusations". "Ukrainian nuclear sites are open to the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is easy to make sure that Russian statements are nonsense," said Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov. While the Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba asked the head of the same Aiea Rafael Grossi (who agreed) to send inspectors to the country's nuclear plants.

For NATO secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg , the Russian claims about the dirty bomb are "absurd", and Moscow "accuses others of doing what it intends to do itself". But Serghei Lavrov said he was convinced that, despite the official denials, Western countries do not take lightly the information provided by Russia and announced that the issue will soon be debated in the UN Security Council.
