Russia: America used 300 tons of depleted uranium in the attack on Iraq.
According to Rashatodi, General Igor Krylov, the commander of the radiological, chemical and biological protection forces of the Russian army, said that the United States used 300 tons of depleted uranium in Iraq in response to the British intention to send ammunition containing depleted uranium to Ukraine.
Krylov added: American fighters dropped bombs containing depleted uranium during 2003 and 2004 in the cities of Al-Amara, Baghdad, Basra, Fallujah and even the holy Karbala.
Referring to Britain’s attempt to send bullets containing depleted uranium, he said: “The statements of the British authorities about sending depleted uranium bombs to Ukraine seem very brazen, especially when these statements are made before the anniversary of the bombing of Yugoslavia, in which these munitions “It was dangerously used.”
Last Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in response to the British initiative regarding the delivery of weapons with depleted uranium to the Ukrainian army, said: The West has decided to fight with the Russian Federation until the last Ukrainian, not in words, but in reality. If Britain delivers depleted uranium bullets to Ukraine, Russia will be forced to react.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu emphasized in this regard: another stage has been passed, but they are becoming less and less. Moscow is carefully monitoring the situation in this regard.
Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, in response to “Annabel Goldie”, the Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States, who said that Britain will transfer depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine, said: “Yugoslavian scenario.” These bullets not only kill, but also pollute the environment and cause cancer in people living in these lands.
Britain rejected Russia’s stance on 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!
