This is probably a mafia deal gone bad. Transnistria is one of the great dump holes in all of Europe. Lots of crime, trafficking, etc.
Russian FSB has a lot of experience blowing things up. I don’t think they need a dirty bomb to kill a lot of people.
“I don’t think they need a dirty bomb to kill a lot of people.”
Wouldn’t the point be terror and holding Ukraine hostage?
Didn’t the Soviets dump a lot of their nuclear waste in Ukraine?
