The UN condemned the use of depleted uranium ammunition today (Sept. 6, 2023) after the U.S. government said it would send Ukraine a number of such rounds for M1 Abrams tanks as part of a $175-million military aid package, the RT website reports.
"We are against the use of depleted uranium ammunition anywhere in the world." Farhan Haq, the deputy spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, told TASS.
Haq's comments came after the Pentagon revealed that an unspecified number of 120mm DU rounds will be sent to Ukraine as part of the newest package of military assistance.
