Embassy of the Russian Federation to the UK:

Embassy Statement on plans to supply UK armaments with depleted uranium to Ukraine
london.mid.ru/en/press-centr…

▪️We consider the plans, officially confirmed by the UK Defence Ministry, to supply Ukraine ammunition with depleted uranium to be a step fraught with risks of further escalation of the conflict.

▪️UK weapons supplies to Kiev, especially of such a sensitive nature, would lead to aggravation of the situation.
▪️ Radioactivity, high toxicity and carcinogenicity of such weapons are well-known.
london.mid.ru/en/press-centr…

Clearly the British have made the choice towards inflicting maximum damage & destruction to the population of the frontline regions.

▪️In general, this provides further evidence that Ukraine represents nothing more than testing ground for the UK in its stand-off with our country.

❗️We warn London against crossing another dangerous line in its maniacal desire to achieve “Russia’s defeat”.

"The UK announced not only the supply of tanks to Ukraine, but also depleted uranium shells..., I would like to note that if all this happens, Russia will have to react accordingly,"
-Putin-

Sergei Shoigu – about the supply of depleted uranium ammunition by Great Britain to Ukraine: "Well, this moves us to serious thoughts about the further course of events and what we can answer."

"Britain's plans to supply Kiev with depleted uranium shells show that London is prepared to take not just risks, but also war crimes. There is no doubt that this will end badly for London."
-Sergey Lavrov-

"They have already lost bearing on their actions, those Anglo-Saxons want to maintain hegemony over the world, they are ready to take more risks, break international law & commit war crimes, crimes against humanity"
-Lavrov-

Lavrov also questioned ICC's legitimacy.

Lavrov: Supplying Ukraine with depleted uranium is escalatory step

Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov warned against the consequences of Britain’s supplying depleted uranium shells to Kyiv’s regime.

“The UK’s shipment of depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine would be a step toward further escalation of the conflict, Lavruv said in a press conference with his Eritrean counterpart.

On the other hand, Lavrov pointed out that depleted uranium shells would greatly reduce Ukraine’s ability to produce quality, uncontaminated foods, and it might lose the ability to produce agricultural production entirely.

NATO use of depleted uranium during 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia leaves Serbia 97,000 cancer patients

NATO countries dropped 15 tons of depleted uranium on Yugoslavia during their military aggression.

According to the Serbian academician Rakic, this volume would be enough to create 170 atomic bombs. The targets were residential areas and businesses. including chemicals.

The President of the Serbian Society for the Fight against Cancer, Slobodan Cikaric, claims that NATO’s airstrikes on Serbia in 1999 are responsible for the high mortality rates since 15 tons of depleted uranium were dropped on Serbia.

Studies have shown that depleted uranium is a carcinogen: when ingested, it interrupts the normal cell growth process & can lead to malignant tumors.
Even two decades later, the rate of pediatric oncology in Serbia was twice the European average.
