The Biden administration will for the first time send controversial armor-piercing munitions containing depleted uranium to Ukraine, according to a document seen by Reuters and separately confirmed by two U.S. officials.

The use of depleted uranium munitions has been fiercely debated, with opponents like the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons saying there are dangerous health risks from ingesting or inhaling depleted uranium dust, including cancers and birth defects.

        The west literally overthrew the legitimate and democratically elected government to install literal fascists in power who have been busy doing this the people in eastern Ukraine for the past either years. If this is news to you then take a sit because you have no clue regarding the subject you’re bloviating on here.

          Fascinating. Can you show me more links about the west NOT invading, murdering, raping and kidnapping Ukrainians? Amazing that you think this somehow proves your point.

            The only thing amazing here is what you wrote in response to seeing that the west put a fascist regime in power that’s been maiming it’s own people. You’re a morally bankrupt piece of human garbage, and I have nothing more to say to you.

              OMG, I didn’t know that. So the Russian fascist regime is actually maiming it’s own people in Ukraine in order to help Ukrainians? Fascinating. Please tell me more.
