The use of depleted uranium shells has “very sad consequences,” said Dmitry Peskov, without giving any specific data.
The US decision to transfer depleted uranium shells to Ukraine is “very bad news.” This is what Kremlin speaker Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing on Thursday, September 7.
“This is very bad news,” he said, adding that such projectiles were “actively used in Yugoslavia.”
According to Peskov, the use of these shells has “very sad consequences, which have been recorded even by international organizations.”
The Kremlin spokesman says that the use of depleted uranium shells has previously led to “a rapid increase in the number of patients with oncology and other diseases.”
“These consequences are also felt by future generations of those who somehow encountered and were in the places where these weapons were used,” Peskov added, without giving any specific data.
On September 6, the United States announced a new military aid package for Ukraine. This includes depleted uranium shells for Abrams tanks.
Earlier, Ukraine received such shells from Great Britain for Challenger 2 tanks. After that, Russian propagandists and the Kremlin went into hysterics, and the President of the aggressor country of Russia, Vladimir Putin, said he “will be forced to respond accordingly. .”
In turn, the formal leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, threatened a “terrible response” to shells with depleted uranium.
