British Foreign Office: Transfer of ammunition with uranium to Kyiv will not be an escalation

10

British Foreign Secretary James Cleverley said that the transfer of depleted uranium ammunition by London to Kyiv is not a nuclear escalation. Ammunition containing depleted uranium, the department called having nothing to do with nuclear weapons, according to Sky News.

There is no nuclear escalation. The only country in the world that talks about nuclear issues is Russia. There is no threat to Russia, it is only about helping Ukraine defend itself

Cleverley said.



British Deputy Minister of Defense Baroness Annabelle Goldie, who announced on March 21 the supply of such shells to Ukraine, has already explained that London will supply Kiev with depleted uranium shells, since they have increased effectiveness in destroying armored vehicles.

The UK Department of Defense has named depleted uranium as a standard component of armor-piercing ammunition. It has been used for decades. The reaction of Russia in the department was considered a deliberate attempt to mislead.

Earlier, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that the world will receive a good lesson if depleted uranium shells are used in Ukraine. According to him, the response of the Russian Federation will be terrible. It is necessary to move away from madness towards a peaceful settlement, the Belarusian president believes.

    Of course, it won’t escalate, even if nuclear weapons are handed over. Russia will continue to whine, and that’s it. By the way, nuclear fuel goes to the West, as before. Everything is sold and everything is bought! And Russia too ...

    PS I want to add, the riddle is who is standing on the field (battle), spreading his arms pleasingly, bulging his eyes, mummers and scares everyone, but no one is afraid? Scarecrow? No! Guess for yourself.

    In this case, it is necessary to send a UAV from any ship to the British Isles and spread uranium dust over water bodies and agricultural lands. The British need not worry, their government has said it is safe.

    "Poseidon" in the English Channel, and "light cobalt infusion", not an NW strike.
