The UN is concerned about any supply of weapons with depleted uranium due to harm to civilians, the Secretary General's Office said about London's plans, announced today by Deputy Defense Secretary Annabelle Goldie.
Depleted uranium is used in the manufacture of armor-piercing shells due to its higher density compared to the same steel, which gives higher penetration.

Depleted uranium can affect air, soil, water and vegetation, as well as anyone who comes into direct contact
The US has repeatedly used #DepletedUranium shells in military conflicts, most recently in #Syria in 2015, but it especially distinguished itself in the bombing of Yugoslavia, when #NATO forces dropped 15 tons of depleted uranium in shells on the territory of present-day #Serbia
After that, the country took first place in the number of oncological diseases in #Europe, and in the first 10 years since the bombings, about 30 thousand people fell ill with cancer in the republic, of which from 10 thousand to 18 thousand died

Did you know that after 2014 Ukraine build a dam to cut off water supply to #Crimea. Clearly they did not consider it a part of Ukraine any longer. One of the first things that Russia has accomplished is allowing water to flow to millions by unblocking of the hydrotechnical unit
There was always still risk that some home the only source of drinking water in #Crimea would be cut off again. Not anymore
#Kyiv will no longer be able to deprive Crimea of water.
