Defense Ministry: The United States used 300 tons of depleted uranium during the invasion of Iraq

The United States used at least 300 tons of depleted uranium during the invasion of Iraq (2003-2004), as a result, the radiation situation in the city of Fallujah became worse than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Igor Kirillov, head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces of the Russian Armed Forces, said at a briefing on Friday

Igor Kirillov, the head of the RCBZ troops, noted that "depleted uranium is a trivial name for a metal based on more than 90% of the isotopes of uranium-238 and less than 1% of uranium-235"

The UK's statements about the supply of depleted uranium shells to Ukraine look especially cynical before the anniversary of the bombing of Yugoslavia, where they were used.

Al Hadath: China's mediation between Russia and Ukraine can save the US from failure
