There's only one country's leader in all this that can make a choice that would put a stop to all the death and destruction immediately. Hint: it's the one who decided to start all the death and destruction in the first place.
What's next? Shall we start training Ukrainian suicide bombers?
DU rounds and cluster munitions will make the country unlivable - from a breadbasket to a wasteland.
DU rounds and cluster munitions are already in use in Ukraine, by the Russians. The damage is being done no matter what. So why is it suddenly a problem when it’s the Ukranians, who are desperate for any advantage to keep their country theirs? They’re certainly not happy with having to use methods that damage their land, but they’ve made the decision that it’s a risk they’re willing to take in order to not be annexed by a brutal foreign power.
The video I posted, which got -32 and counting, but which is from, I would say, a reputable source, claims that the UK was not able to produce evidence that Russia was already using Uranium before giving Uranium to Ukraine. (if I remember correctly) But no one F-fing watches it :P
BTW I totally understand Ukraine using them. I am skeptical about others providing them...
The problem gets worse the more both sides add to it! The more cluster bombs and depleted uranium rounds are used, the more uninhabitable Ukraine will become.
Also, I'm not finding evidence Russia was using DU rounds before this - cluster bombs, yes, but not DU rounds. They definitely could have been, their tanks are capable of it, but the news media never mentioned it as far as I could find. That'll change now that Ukraine is using them, though.
You act like Ukraine is acting independently and making its own decisions. The reality is that any decisions Ukraine makes are heavily influenced by the NATO alliance backing the war effort. There's a point when you have to wonder how much pressure is being put on them to destroy their own country.
I bet we'll find out in 10-20 years that they were forced to do this to themselves.
The tankie that didnt even try to hide that fact, criticizes Ukraine. You sure are sneaky about hiding your bias.
