Responsibility for the transfer of depleted uranium munitions to the Ukrainian army will lie with the US leadership, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
He noted that such shells were used in Yugoslavia, where the number of cancer diseases increased after that.
According to him, the same situation will await Ukrainian territories where such munitions will be used.
“The responsibility for this will lie entirely and completely with the leadership of the United States of America,” Peskov said.
On 6 September, the United States announced the supply of depleted uranium shells for Abrams tanks to the Ukrainian armed forces.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova reminded about the toxicity and danger of depleted uranium for the human body.
The UN also said that it was against any use of depleted uranium shells.
