Whatever munition you choose, it will lead to heavy metal poisoning.

Just another piece of evidence that the west never actually cared about Ukraine or people living there. Ukrainians are just a pawn the west is using to try and weaken Russia with zero consideration for the lives of the people living there.

Ahh wonderful, time for so many future children to be born horribly disfigured via contaminated drinking water. Also don't forget all the booming cancer rates!

Every person involved in making this decision deserves to be buried in an unmarked grave with the weapons they love so much. How many innocent people completely uninvolved with the war are going to grow up suffering the effects of depleted uranium rounds? Another absolutely monstrous decision in a long line of monstrous decisions by the US government.
