The administration of US President Joe Biden will announce on September 6 the delivery of armour-piercing shells with depleted uranium to the Ukrainian army, Politico writes, citing sources.
“According to a U.S. official familiar with the discussions, the Biden administration will send the controversial depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine for the first time as part of a new aid package to be announced on Wednesday,” the publication reports.
The decision was allegedly made after months of debate over the supply of this type of ammunition.
US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. earlier said that Washington was contributing to the destruction of Ukraine by sending depleted uranium shells to the Ukrainian armed forces.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova noted that the supplies of depleted uranium ammunition from the West had already led to radiation contamination of the Ukrainian territory, which is turning into uninhabitable land.
