England uses depleted uranium in its bullets.
In response to Moscow’s protest, the spokesperson of the British Ministry of Defense admitted: London has been using depleted uranium in its bullets for decades.
Anatolia News Agency, England rejected Russia’s position regarding sending shells containing depleted uranium to Ukraine.
In a statement, London accused Russia of publishing “false information” in this regard.
According to British media, the spokesman of the Ministry of Defense admitted that the British Army has been using depleted uranium in its anti-armor bullets for decades.
He claimed: This is a standard issue and has nothing to do with nuclear weapons. Russia also knows this; But it is deliberately trying to provide false information!
According to his ridiculous claim, independent research by scientists has shown that the use of depleted uranium in some ammunition will have little impact on personal health and the environment!
It should be noted that “Baroness Annabelle Goldie”, the Minister of Defense of England, announced the delivery of the said bullets and also a fleet of Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine yesterday.
In response to London’s acknowledgment, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated in his remarks about sending ammunition containing depleted uranium to Ukraine: This is a serious step towards further escalation of tension. The statements of some Western representatives that there is nothing terrible, that the use of depleted uranium ammunition is not prohibited anywhere, and that we are not violating any convention; It is surprising. Remember the results of depleted uranium in Yugoslavia and Iraq, when tens of thousands of civilians and NATO forces were harmed. A sharp increase in cancer and other dangerous diseases, also the soil was polluted for decades.
