«A radioactive cloud moves towards Europe».
The news was released by the head of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, quoted by the RIA Novosti agency.
From what has been learned, the cloud would be the result of the explosion resulting from a bombardment by the Moscow army on a " depot of depleted uranium ammunition" sent by the West to Ukraine.
According to Patrushev the cloud would be directed towards the west and would have already caused an increase in the levels of radioactivity in Polish territory.
Patrushev does not say where the bombing took place, but in recent days images have been circulating on Telegram channels of a Russian attack that took place on May 13 in the Khmelnitsky region, west of Kiev, which caused a giant black cloud in the shape of a mushroom cloud.
In recent days, according to information provided by Moscow's defense ministry, Russian bombing of arms depots from NATO countries has increased in Ukraine with the aim of blocking the announced counter-offensive in Kiev.
For its part, the Polish Atomic Agency reassures: "We have not received any radioactive emergency notification". The agency speaks of "false information on the danger of radiation", explaining that "the situation in the country is normal" and that "the peaks observed in the last few days in Poland, but also in the rest of Europe, are not unusual and occur regularly with the rains".
