UK Plan to Provide Ukraine With Depleted Uranium Projectiles Reckless New Provocation, Moscow Says
On Tuesday, UK Minister of State for Defense Annabel Goldie stated that London would provide Kiev with armor piercing shells for its Challenger 2 main battle tanks, including depleted uranium ammunition. | Britain’s plan to deliver depleted uranium projectiles to Ukraine is London’s latest provocation, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik. "This is a matter of the absolute recklessness, irresponsibility, and impunity of the Anglo-Saxons, the Anglo-Saxon duo, primarily London and Washington, in international affairs. This is another British provocation, which is aimed at bringing the situation around Ukraine to a new round of aggression, conflict and confrontation, and giving a qualitatively different dimension to it,” Zakharova said. The statements of Washington and London about their desire for peace in Ukraine and the well-being of the Ukrainian people are lies, the Russian diplomat said, noting that their true goal is the destruction of Ukraine.
