The Pentagon on Wednesday announced an assistance package for Ukraine including armour-piercing depleted uranium ammunition for Abrams tanks
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said NATO’s heavy use of such ammunition in bombing Yugoslavia in 1999 had caused a jump in cases of cancer and other diseases.
But a United Nations Environment Programme report on the impact of depleted uranium on Serbia and Montenegro, in then– Yugoslavia, found “no significant, widespread contamination”. Britain’s Royal Society said in a report in 2002 that the risks to the kidney and other organs from the use of depleted uranium munitions were very low, both for most soldiers in the field and for those living in the conflict area.
Odesa governor Oleh Kiper said one person had been hurt in the attack, which he said was the fourth in five days on the Izmail district, which includes Danube River ports that are used to ship grain.
