[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Joselgina] U.S. President Joe Biden strongly warned on the 25th (local time) regarding Russia's possible use of so-called 'dirty bombs,' saying, "It would be a serious mistake."

According to the White House, President Biden stated after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, "If strategic nuclear weapons are used, Russia would be making an incredibly serious mistake."

Earlier, Russia warned that "Ukraine might use dirty bombs (dirty bomb: a bomb containing radioactive material)," and in response, the U.S., Western countries, and Ukraine pointed out that Russia might be using dirty bombs as a 'false flag' tactic to blame Ukraine.

President Biden mentioned, "It is not yet certain whether this is a false flag operation." Unlike nuclear weapons, these weapons aim to cause nuclear contamination in a specific area.

Along with this, regarding the Russian court's rejection of the appeal of women's professional basketball star Brittney Griner, who was sentenced to nine years in prison, Biden said, "We are continuously engaging with Russia to secure the release of Griner and others, but there has been no positive response yet." Concerning the resurgence of COVID-19, he emphasized, "We will ensure it does not become an emergency."
