The US will supply Ukraine with depleted uranium ammunition

The US will provide depleted uranium anti-tank shells to Ukraine as part of a new military aid package worth up to $175 million, the Pentagon announced during a visit to Kiev by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

The $175 million is part of more than $1 billion in aid that Blinken announced in the Ukrainian capital on Wednesday, the first day of his two-day visit.

It is the first time the US is sending armored munitions to Ukraine, although Britain has already done so. US shells will arm the Abrams tanks that the US will also supply in the coming months.

The Russian embassy in Washington denounced the decision as "an inhuman indicator", adding that "the United States is deceiving itself by refusing to accept the failure of the so-called counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army".

In a social media post on Telegram, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also criticized the US decision, writing: "What is this: a lie or nonsense?" She claimed an increase in cancer was observed in countries where depleted uranium munitions were used./ CNA
