They would know that what they are preparing to do would not be actually a nuclear device, and the spread of radioactive material would be a local problem. They would count on the media's superstitious horror of radioactivity to inflame fear and anxiety. Heck, they would orchestrate that horror. It turns out that the Russians found British, French, and Polish combatants in the Kursk incursion operation. The Poles have also been implicated recently in the Nordstream pipeline bombing. I think it is safe to say that these countries are itching for a fight and want to drag NATO into it.
