Britain to supply depleted uranium shells to Ukraine
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin: [ColonelCassad] Britain is going to supply tank sub-caliber armor-piercing shells with depleted uranium to Ukraine. The shells are going to be used on Challenger-2 tanks. Such shells were used by NATO during the aggression against Yugoslavia and Iraq.  From a report at a UN briefing by ACANU: "I would like to deplore the environmental degradation resulting from the invasion and occupation of Iraq. The US and UK invading forces used various conventional and non-traditional illegal weapons such as napalm, cluster bombs, white phosphorus and ammunition made from depleted uranium (DU) And this is not the first time an invasion force has used depleted uranium. They used it in 1991 and infected about 2,000 square kilometers of densely populated civilian areas. They caused 4 to 6 increased cases of cancer among the civilian population, as well as congenital malformations and all diseases that are associated with radioactivity and toxicity.
