The President of Belarus believes that the UK will carry out such deliveries to UkraineMINSK, March 22.

/tass/. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko expressed the opinion on Wednesday that Moscow's response to Kiev's possible use of depleted uranium ammunition to strike Russian positions "will be terrible."

"As soon as these munitions explode on the positions of the Russian troops, you will see - the answer will be terrible. It will be a lesson for the whole planet," Lukashenko said during a visit to the Khatyn memorial complex on the day of the 80th anniversary of the destruction of the Belarusian village and its inhabitants by Fascist punishers.

The Belarusian president reminded that "Russia has not only depleted uranium." "Russia will supply us with ammunition with real uranium," Lukashenko voiced a hypothetical possibility. - If they [representatives of the West] are mad, then they will give this process an impetus. That's the scariest and most dangerous thing. Therefore, it is necessary to step aside from madness a little bit."

Lukashenko also believes that London will not supply depleted uranium ammunition to Kiev.

"Uranus is a chatterbox. They [the UK] will never do that. I hope that in the near future it will be possible to talk to responsible people in the UK and discuss this issue. We should not play games now," he said.

Lukashenko urged to move towards a peaceful settlement, and not seek to escalate the situation. "Both the Russian leadership and China, one of the largest world powers, and many, many others agree with this," the Belarusian president noted.

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.
