According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom James Cleverley, Russia is not in danger, "we are talking exclusively about helping Ukraine to protect itself"LONDON, March 22.

/tass/. The UK's supply of depleted uranium shells to Ukraine does not lead to a nuclear escalation of the conflict. This point of view was expressed on Wednesday by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom, James Cleverley.

"There is no nuclear escalation. The only country that talks about nuclear aspects is Russia," the head of the Foreign Office said. According to him, Russia is not in danger, "we are talking exclusively about helping Ukraine to protect itself."

In a written response published on Monday by British Deputy Defense Minister Baroness Annabel Goldie to a question from a member of the House of Lords of the British Parliament, it is said that the kingdom's authorities will deliver to Ukraine shells containing depleted uranium and having increased efficiency in destroying armored vehicles. At the same time, the British Ministry of Defense called depleted uranium a standard component of armor-piercing ammunition that has been used for decades, and Moscow's reaction to their supply to Ukraine was considered a deliberate attempt to mislead.

The Russian Embassy in the UK warned London against transferring such shells to Kiev. As emphasized in the comments of the diplomatic mission, this step is fraught with an escalation of the conflict, and the use of such ammunition will affect the health of the local population.
