ITAR-TASS — Ukrainian minister’s statement about Russian nuclear strike on Lugansk absurd - DM

The Russian Defence Ministry on Saturday flatly denied the Ukrainian military chief’s allegations about the use of tactical nuclear weapons at Lugansk’s airport in eastern Ukraine.

Ukrainian media earlier in the day quoted Geletei as telling one of the journalists that the Russian army had delivered two tactical nuclear strikes on the Lugansk airport from a self-propelled Tyulpan 2S4 mortar system, thus causing the Ukrainian troops to leave the area.
 
“The strikes were so powerful that they demolished buildings completely from top to bottom,” media reports quoted him as saying.

I wonder if the Ukrainian minister's statement was cleared by the coup government's handlers at the US State Dept.
