A response to the depleted uranium ammo Britain is sending, I guess. Russia always responds to a provocation in its own way. The west should get a clue.
Putin over reaction but overdue.
Brilliant idea. I was wondering what he was going to do after he threatened to do something. Depleted uranium will contaminate for ages wherever it’s used and cause all sorts of radiological health problem. Using it ought to be a war crime.
