Reuters: Russia blasts UK move to send ammo with depleted uranium to Ukraine
Russian on Tuesday condemned British plans to send ammunition that contains depleted uranium to Ukraine, a move Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said left fewer and fewer steps before a potential "nuclear collision" between Russia and the West.
Speaking in London on Monday, Minister of State for Defence Annabel Goldie said some of the ammunition for the Challenger 2 battle tanks that Britain is sending to Ukraine includes armour piercing rounds which contain depleted uranium.
"Another step has been taken, and there are fewer and fewer left," Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told reporters in remarks cited by domestic agencies.

Won’t just poison the ground, but will poison many generations of people who live off that land. But since they are now Russian, I suppose their suffering is irrelevant.
Like America, Russian Tanks are Now Shooting Depleted Uranium Bullets
We should checkout Ukrainian tanks, which the Russians have knocked out with tank fire to see if they have traces of DU?
It is rich that Russia complain when it irradiated Ukraine and much of Western Europe with eh Chernobyl accident.
Russia also threatens Zaporizhia nuclear power plant by lowering water on the reservoir it depends on. Russia is going to create the Zaporizhia incident.
Russia rents Baikonur launch center in Kazakhstan and has fallen behind in rent payments. How many times have we been told Ukraine is a bad country, because it has fallen behind n gas payments. Russia has fallen behind on rent.
If Russia cares so much about the environment , it should leave Ukraine and no depleted ammo need be used.
Is Russia upset that, if they do win the land will be worthless to them? Is that their gripe? It would like a thief, who steals your watch and then complains to one and all that the watch does not work.
The use of DU ammo would have been used as big anti-Russian propaganda by the Ukes if used. We would have heard about it by now. And why would Russia use that stuff on its own territory surrounded by a population of people that support Russia? The west has figured out it lost this war and has decided to let the Ukes poison the territory it lost. Bottom line, it’s called being a sore loser.
Bottom line the Russians are using T-55s from storage because so much equipment was stolen from later models of Soviet and Russian tanks.
T-55s
So please continue with the propaganda. It is all you have except using poor Russians as cannon fodder.
WNU should really delete you post whenever you post the Words Ukes or Ukies. Would he allow People to use the n word?
Then why do the “Ukrainians” need depleted uranium penetrators? There hasn’t been any problem getting through Russian armour in this conflict. The point is this move is purely provocative in nature and couldn’t be more hypocritical when it comes to environmental concerns You know, the woke shit that is preached to us on a daily basis here in the west.
Then why do the “Ukrainians” need depleted uranium penetrators?
A trollish technique. You know the answer, but you ask as if you are an ingenue and I am suppose to be polite.
Obviously, not all T90s. T82s or T72s have been knocked out. Yet. Also new one are being made. Also for the hapless Russians who follow their threadbare emperor, not enough of them are made each month to replace all the losses each month.
Stevie Gruen had the long and short of it.
In that llght I see and addition 2 advantages not covered by Stevie.
Who knows some Russian might break his conditioning and get ambitious and weld reactive armor bricks onto T-55s. DU might be useful in this case.
A tactical nuke on Lviv would be useful too. That’s where this is headed.
The Ukies do not need DU armor or ammo. Why? Well you all said three months ago that the russians had no more tanks left.
So why do they need DU ammo?
You all Ukie rah rahs continue to trip over your own bullshit.
In the mean time, not to worry........ Fazman's imaginary 130 tanks by March 1st have all the imaginary ammo they need.
just cannot make this crap up
A tactical nuke on Moscow would be useful too. This is it is headed.
To ammo and armor is effective but nasty stuff.
The propaganda machine in gulf war 1 and gulf war two told us these was nothing wrong with th his stuff and using it would not have any effect6 on us when we used it.
Once again it was a lie encircled by the truth.
