I hate to be defending Russia, but this article is pushing a narrative around a “radioactive” threat which is really bullshit. First off, Depleted Uranium is already in use in Ukraine. We know this because the US shipped those weapons to Ukraine. Also, DU isn’t really a radioactive threat. You can hold a chunk of it with your bare hands and the radiation dose you receive is negligible. It’s more of a danger as a toxic heavy metal, like lead. It can bio-accumulate and cause all the same problems which lead does. This isn’t good for the long term environmental health of Ukraine. But, it’s a common material in tanks and other weapons which are designed to penetrate armor/buildings. So, it’s use by Russia isn’t exactly shocking. This article is just Yellow Journalism.
