"UK and Russia Clash Over Depleted Uranium Weapons in Ukraine"

The UK Ministry of Defense accused Russia of deliberately trying to disinform after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned London against providing Ukraine with ammunition containing depleted uranium. The UK confirmed that it will send ammunition containing depleted uranium to Ukraine, which Putin referenced at a press conference. The UK spokesperson said that depleted uranium is a standard component in armor-piercing shells and has nothing to do with nuclear weapons or capabilities. Independent research has assessed that any impact on personal health and the environment from the use of depleted uranium munitions is likely to be low.
