Russia warns 'radioactive cloud' engulfing Europe​

TEHRAN, May 19 (MNA) – Russian security chief has warned of a "radioactive cloud" engulfing Europe, referring to the destruction of depleted uranium shells in Ukraine.

Speaking in a government meeting on Friday, Nikolay Patrushev, the secretary of the Russian Security Council, warned that the destruction of depleted uranium shells in Ukraine produced a radioactive cloud that moved toward Europe. According to a Press Tv report, the destruction was reportedly made by the British-made Challenger tanks, which were supplied to Ukraine by the UK government.

The Russian official revealed the purported threat, accusing the US of manipulating its allies to provide “help” to other nations that result in harm being done to the recipients.

“They ‘helped’ Ukraine this way too, applied pressure to its satellites to supply depleted uranium munitions. Their destruction resulted in a radioactive cloud moving toward Western Europe. They have detected an increase in radiation in Poland,” Patrushev stated.

The alleged radioactive cloud has reportedly been detected with an increase in radiation levels observed in Poland.

Russia has previously warned that the use of depleted uranium munitions poses a long-term environmental and public health threat, based on studies conducted in countries such as Serbia and Iraq, where the weapons were previously used. London has rejected such a threat.

While depleted uranium is mildly radioactive, it is considered a health hazard mainly because it is a toxic heavy metal. Uranium particles or uranium oxides produced in an explosion can be inhaled by anyone exposed to them or contaminate the environment.

Russia claims radioactive cloud moving toward Western Europe​

Cloud formed after Russian military struck shipment of ammunition with depleted uranium, supplied by UK to Ukraine, says Russian official​

MOSCOW
A Russian top official claimed on Friday that a radioactive cloud is moving toward Western Europe, and that an increased radioactivity was detected in Poland.
Speaking at a meeting in Russia's northwestern city of Syktyvkar, Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolay Patrushev said the cloud formed after the Russian military struck a load of ammunition with depleted uranium, supplied by the UK to Ukraine.
Commenting on the arrival of US President Joe Biden for the G-7 summit to Japan's city of Hiroshima, Patrushev recalled that one of the stated goals of the visit is "to help Ukraine."
"They have already 'helped' Ukraine, (the US) put pressure on their satellites and supplied depleted uranium ammunition. Their (ammunition) destruction led to the 'departure' of a radioactive cloud towards Western Europe. An increase in radiation has already been recorded in Poland," Patrushev warned.
The UK announced in late March that it will supply Ukraine with depleted uranium ammunition, a decision which was met with criticism from Russia.
Farhan Haq, the deputy spokesman for the UN secretary-general, expressed concerns over the UK’s decision, saying: "You have seen the concerns we've expressed over the years about any use of depleted uranium given the consequences of such usage. And those would apply to anyone who provides such armament."

UK to send depleted uranium shells to Ukraine despite health concerns

In recent years hundreds of Italian military personnel have died while thousands more have taken sick from conditions potentially linked to depleted uranium. Some MEPs are now calling for a full ban.

DU emits alpha particles. The russian fabricated story claims a raise in gamma radiation levels - as if Russia is monitoring this inside Ukraine anyways. Youre are being a “useful idiot” quoting fake stories right out of the Kremlin. It is pretty obvious this is ment to discredit western weapon donations in order to scare and shape public opinion in the west.
BTW, nobody but Russia is claiming depleted uranium was targeted in this strike. As if they knew..

UK is far away to West, so it doesnt matter.

NATO knows if they mess with Russia directly Russia has enough nuclear arsenal to make the Western world a quite neighbour for the next 10,000 years

which is why they dont have the guts to ever shot down any Russian fighter no matter how hostile they get

like cowards always use poor Ukrainians as shields

Russians on the other are happy to down any UAV which flies over Russian air space like the MQ-9 Reaper
