Vladimir Putin has said he would be forced to react if the UK sent depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine. Speaking after holding talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Moscow today, the Russian president said Beijing's peace plan could be the basis for settling the war in Ukraine - but said the West has so far shown no interest.
It comes after defence minister Baroness Anabelle Goldie said the UK would be sending "ammunition including armour piercing rounds which contain depleted uranium" to Ukraine, along with a squadron of Challenger 2 tanks, in a written answer to a question asked in Parliament. According to the BBC, depleted uranium is about 40 per cent less radioactive than natural uranium, and is capable of penetrating shells and piercing tanks.
Mr Putin was speaking after Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida made a surprise visit to Kyiv on the same day Mr Xi was in Moscow to show his support for Russia. Mr Kishida, who will chair the G7 summit in May, is meeting Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky in the Ukrainian capital, while Mr Xi is in talks with Mr Putin for the second day of his three-day visit to the Russian capital.
Russia’s deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said Russia was looking to expand its cooperation with China in a bid to prevent Nato from becoming the world’s dominant military force.
Just a question as I can't load the link what would be the point in uranium
Is this the 'reason' behind the 23rd April AlertWarning 'test' and WHO nuclear medicines stockpiling call?
Desperate for a war aren’t they our politicians and the US. Probably looking to profit from armour sales now they’ve profited for vaccinations
