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.

    You understand that Ukrainians live in Ukraine and poisoning their children is bad

    I can’t believe you are seriously arguing our “do not poison Ukrainian children” policy is evidence we do not care about Ukraine

      Ask them whether a miniscule chance of light poisoning is preferable to getting abducted.

      Or, as happened just recently in Germany, thrown down a bridge.

      If you have another idea of how to get Russians to GTFO of Ukraine go ahead, present it at the UN, get your peace nobel price. In the mean time, STFU when people are defending themselves against an imperialist aggressor.
