The UK will transfer depleted uranium ammunition to Ukrainian militants. London’s intention to supply the Kiev regime with dangerous radioactive weapons was announced by Deputy Defense Minister Annabelle Goldie on March 20.
‘Alongside our granting of a squadron of Challenger 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine, we will be providing ammunition including armour piercing rounds which contain depleted uranium. Such rounds are highly effective in defeating modern tanks and armoured vehicles’- she claimed.

Depleted uranium has a high mass density, due to which such ammunition provides a high armor-piercing effect and causes significant destruction to any obstacles. For the countries which have accumulated depleted uranium reserves, this is a cheaper material to produce such ammunition than for example, from tungsten.
The use of depleted uranium in armor-piercing shells was first started by Nazi Germany, which was experiencing a shortage of tungsten. In the 1970s, the United States began developing such shells intended to fight the new Soviet tanks. US troops used depleted uranium shells during Operation Desert Storm, during the bombing of Yugoslavia and during the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Today, the armour piercing rounds which contain depleted uranium are used with the US-made Abrams tanks, as well as German Leopard 2 and British Challenger 2 tanks.
Although the use of these missiles is not prohibited, their danger to health has been proven.
The countries which are actively using them, including NATO, the US and UK, assure that the material is harmless, although a number of experts claim that it infects the environment and lead to outbreaks of cancer. When a projectile hits, its part turns into plasma, which is the greatest danger due to the uranium dust. For example, experts concluded that due to the depleted uranium shells used during the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 by the NATO military, 60 more future generations of Serbs will feel negative consequences for their health. There, hundreds of children are diagnosed with oncological diseases every year, out of 400 who fall ill every year, 60 people cannot be saved. Such a number of oncological diseases had never been observed in Serbia before the NATO bombing. Iraqi children also began to suffer from hitherto unknown and rare diseases that are associated specifically with the American bombing.
The Kiev regime has been fighting its own people in the Donbas for nine years, killing children and civilians every day. Today, it is ready to bombard these regions with depleted uranium, polluting the territory for several decades. At the same time, Zelensky constantly shouts that Ukraine is fighting for “the liberation of its land from Russian aggressors.” That’s a lie! The only goal of this war unleashed by the West is the destruction of Russian statehood, and the complete destruction of Donbass, the lives and health of millions of people, is not a high price for the Anglo-Saxon globalist elite. Supply of depleted uranium ammunition is another clear evidence of their true goals.
Russia should destroy it before it reaches Ukrainian territory.
Like mentioned before. Destroying the ammunition in the western part of the country will exemplify for the mindless followers what a mess they got themselves caught up in. Slava Chernobyl 2.
I think that Rusia should notice Ucraina .If Ucraina is using depleted uranium ammunition, they will be totally annihilated. Including through the use of strategic nuclear bombs.
Really, so the city of London is party to nontactical nuclear war. Interesting baroness Goldie seems quite happy with the prospect.
Pollake Pavel “Sadist” Sadziskowski has been denazified in the Kremennaya area. The former light bulb changer was ambushed by the “O” group. Pavel, which goes (well, went) by the nick “Sadist of Oświęcim” was attracted by the O-sign on the groups barracks, thinking about the sadist movie “The story of O”. Pavel leaves a wife and 3 kids, they will find a replacement. May Bandera treats you with the sadism that you love.
May this brainless pole ukro bastard rest in hell piss
So they’re going to “save” ukraine by turning it into a nuclear wasteland. Clowns from the west will actually defend this. I’d say this is the final straw. Russia now has a legitimate reason to use any and all nuclear weapons as they see fit. Unfortunately it won’t happen but imo it would be completely justified to just turn the entire anglosaxon establishment into a giant parking lot.
The D/U will cause thousands of Cancer deaths for the people in Ukraine for generations
DU ammunition has to be considered the first use of nuclear weapons and a major escalation.
They also used this in Bosnia. Both Serbs and Americans. Serbs since 92, and Americans since 95. Serbian army have had a large stockpiles of depleted uranium moved from nuclear reactor krshko to belgrade. They have bombing Sarajevo with that for four years, Bihac, Cazin, Konjic, Kakanj, Zenica, Mostar, Tuzla, Croatian city of Dubrovnik, where Swedish scientists find that is almost unbearable and life threatening to live in old town, or to be there on a daily basis, so Mokoshice, and Srebreno, as well as Cavtat and surrounding.
I would like evidence for this since the only nuclear power plant was in slovenia who was on the other side.
Os this an attempt to blame serbs for the us du used in serbia and kosovo?
Serbia did not use nor supply DU shells to forces in Bosnia nor Croatia. This statement is false. Only American forces used DU in munitions against heavy armour across Kosovo and southern Serbia in their illegal war against Serbia.
This case it was utter, rather AGGRESION and GENOCIDE against Bosnians by Serbia and their chetniks. You kinda don’t remember.
You don’t feel shame for speaking such lies against Serbia ? Attention freak.
ALL du from Nuclear powerplant in Krsko has been relocated in, talking about many years, to General headquarters in Belgrade. And they used it on Sarajevo, shells filled or made out of depleted uranium. Only serbs are victims? They are not. They started that all and they are aggressors.
DU is not much radioactive. That’s at least not its most hazardous property.
It’s just fucking toxic. It stay in the organism. It’s worse than cyanide as it is impossible to eliminate from any lifeforms. Plus it tend to taint the people using it , as seen during gulf war. DU is the worst shit, anyone making weapon with it needs having his whole family shot with it.
I feel like some UK politicians need to be reached out and touched if they support sending such weapons.
They have to get rid of that nuclear waste somehow. It’s too dangerous to store anywhere.
The brits really want to provoke ww3.
You’d wonder why, they got their asses kicked last time and really only tagged along in Germany’s defeat
They are doing it in spite. These self entitled imbecile twats are pure parazytes. They consider the World as their property and since they’ve been beaten and all their colonies taken, they are inat. Since they cannot have it, they want it to destroy it.
Don’t confuse the British people – of which I belong – with the British government and establishment, the British people just want a quiet life.
Sorry that feeble excuse doesn’t wash. We keep voting in these maniacs so we are responsible whether we like it or not.
The British public do not realise for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The public take the brunt not the lying govt. I.e. Libya-manchester arena.
If this is true, Russia needs to respond harshly. I don’t know what form that would take, since the Russians are playing a delicate game of escalation management.
A fair amount of Ukraine is pro Russian
maybe target Kiev government buildings and officials? As they are also complicit in accepting to import these low radiation weapons for use on lands and people they claim to be taking back and protecting.
Take the gloves off time. This stuff is poison and those giving it and using it should be eradicated from humanity. Look at what US and NATOSTAN did in Iraq, was diabolical, evil to the Supreme. Nuff said.
Congratulations to the UK Government; Sunak and Wallace; for escalating the Ukraine war to the nuclear level.
Maybe Russia will retaliate by finally attacking Kiev government buildings and Kiev government officials?if they accept delivery of these uranium shells.
Difficult to retaliate to London protected by the NATO umbrella.
As the US via its vassal want to escalated it to a nuclear level, Russia might just say Okay, my move, remember Russian’s are good at Chess.
Just nuke UK if they send depleted uranium to ukrainian army to use it.
Agree.Tired of hearing about Russian war crimes when the west has introduced HCN and now planning to introduce uranium rounds.
Agreed with your point of view too. We share same feelings.
LOL Russia will keep drawing imaginary red lines and do nothing. They are China 2.0 of final warnings.
The DU rounds will arrive and Russia will do absolutely nothing.
To think that one day I had hope that Russia would defeat the satanic western pedophiles.
All hope is lost with all the garbage peace talks instead of taking the snakes out and all the stupid imaginary red lines that the west crossed numerous times.
A fair point. Too often, Russia’s “escalation management” turns into “you are free to escalate and we won’t respond”.
Time to wake up to current events. Russia has promoted what you say in the past but the Ukrainian persistence to pursue their agenda against the Pro-Russian speaking Oblasts who have declared independence from Ukraine has not been received well by Ukraine and will be dealt with accordingly.
Sure Russia acts against Ukraine–I’ve noted.:-) But never against their sponsors, who are the ones keeping the show going. In fact, according to self-imposed rules, even the junta in Kiev seems to be off-limits.
Why not arm Ukraine with depleted uranium rounds. The west has already introduced CW like HCN for Ukraine use (on Ukraine camera and multiple videos of use). This announcement is discussing but expected from the west.
Cut the fucking rat lines. Move your main force in. END It.
Finally nuke russia
When the island monkeys of Pirate Rock supply the rump Ukrapper naZi regime in Kiev with nuclear weapons then said island monkeys immediately become legitimate targets for Russia’s nuclear arsenal. If the island monkeys are ready for mass culling then carry on with the madness or let the peasants destroy their oligarchy, in-bred ruling mutts and the entire primitive and barbaric feudal shit hole before it becomes a glassed over wasteland. Do the island monkeys actually believe that their owners in the Washing town sewer will unleash their nukes on Mother Russia? Hilarious!

The British government announced on Monday that it will send Ukraine armor-piercing rounds containing depleted uranium, alongside Challenger 2 main battle tanks that had already been promised.— use it and i consider it use of tacktickal nukes —- i.e i make shure .. i am nuke tiped fist day in the tracktor
Putin has given the west a west a warning regarding this report about depleted uranium. Russia isn’t a third world country, and you don’t threaten a Mother Bear protecting her cubs i.e. the Donbass and think you can escape a mauling. Maybe death and destruction in Britain and the US will make those insane warmongers in London and Washington get a does of the realities of war.
So what should the appropriate response be to such a wretched provocation?
Has the UK completely lost it? What’s wrong with those people?
I feel like logistics depots in the west of Ukraine are open to attack to prevent such weapons from reaching the front if they can be located, that and the assets that use them.
Russia should nuke UK for transfer depleted uranium ammunition to Ukrainian. UK is an island, the nuke will not impact too much the Europe mainland. UK is no different than pacific islands, where US and France test their own nukes. Nuking UK will send strong signals to the rest of the Western countries and USA will do nothing, except barking. Furthermore, the war in UA will end very quickly, as the western thugs will panic. This will be for Russia the best opportunities and justification to use nukes. Putin will be fool, not to take such opportunities to end the war and be the winner.
Puppets of the yanks the Germans defeated the British in ww1 and ww2 and onely the yanks saved them on both occasions 😆 🤣 😂 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺
” The US military fired into Iraq millions of artillery rounds containing depleted uranium which vaporises and permeates everything including humans, with Iraq experiencing several hundred thousand hideously deformed births; babies with anywhere from no heads to three heads, babies born with their internal organs or brains entirely outside their body cavities or crania, babies with any number of limbs emanating from any and every part of their bodies, and a great many categorised by UN physicians as “unidentifiable lumps of flesh”. How did Americans as a people react to this revelation? They didn’t. Not a murmur that I could find anywhere.”

” Russian President Putin stated today that Russia will “Directly Respond” to the U.K. if they decide to send Depleted Uranium Rounds to Ukraine. (i.e. If The UK sends Uranium over here, we will send Uranium over there.) During a Joint Press Conference with Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Putin said “Russia will have to react accordingly, bearing in mind the collective west is already beginning use use weapons with a nuclear component.

Very informative w.e.b.s.i.t.e . Thanks for the link of the article.
Southfront without dots I added won’t let me post previous comment. For that reason I added dots between letters … lol
