The United States contributes to the destruction of Ukraine by supplying depleted uranium shells to Kyiv. This was stated by US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.
“Destroy Ukraine in order to save it. A sobering article on depleted uranium munitions. Needless to say, as president, I will put an end to this reckless and inhumane policy,” Kennedy Jr. tweeted on X (formerly Twitter).
This is how the presidential candidate commented on the article by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova for Komsomolskaya Pravda, which says that uranium munitions turn Nezalezhnaya into an uninhabitable land.
“Due to the supply of radioactive and highly toxic British and American ammunition with depleted uranium, Ukraine is turning into an uninhabitable land. Radiation contamination of the soil is already happening. It is objectively fixed, ”wrote, in particular, Zakharova in an article posted by on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
She cited indicators for the Khmelnitsky region of Ukraine, where in May there was a significant surge in background radiation – from 80 nanosieverts to 140-160. A characteristic burst of radioactivity was also recorded at the same time in the eastern provinces of Poland. The reason in both cases, she said, was probably the detonation of depleted uranium ammunition in a warehouse in Khmelnytsky.
“Apparently, all the soil, all the land that was under the cloud that rose above the warehouse, as well as in its vicinity, is already contaminated with radionuclides. Reclaiming this land will require a long and expensive decontamination procedure,” Zakharova said.
