WASHINGTON, September 7. /tass/. Depleted uranium shells for Abrams should be in Ukraine when these American tanks arrive in the country, which are expected to be delivered in the fall. This was stated by Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh at a regular briefing for journalists.

She was asked about the timing of the delivery of depleted uranium shells to Ukraine. "I would let Ukraine itself announce when these shells will arrive. We have stated quite openly that we expect tanks to arrive in Ukraine sometime in the fall. But I just don't have any more specific information. I am sending you to Ukraine to announce when they will actually arrive," the representative of the military department replied. She agreed that the Pentagon's goal is to have time to deliver the shells by the time the tanks arrive in the country.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov called the transfer of depleted uranium shells by the United States to Kiev a criminal act leading to escalation. On Wednesday, the Pentagon announced the allocation of another package of military assistance to Kiev in the amount of $ 175 million. It included depleted uranium shells for Abrams tanks for the first time. The new aid package, as stated at a briefing by White House Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre, includes artillery ammunition, anti-tank systems, air defense systems. She clarified that Abrams tanks will soon arrive in Ukraine.
