Russia’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, reiterated that Britain would struggle to supply depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine, a claim echoed by the Russian diplomatic mission on a widely viewed YouTube channel. The message is part of a broader pattern in Moscow’s public diplomacy that frames Western military aid to Kyiv as a risk to regional stability and international law. While the specifics of any future weapon shipments remain disputed in public forums, the underlying point is consistent: Moscow views the potential use of depleted uranium rounds as escalatory, with consequences that extend beyond the battlefield. The Russian side stresses that Western powers should reconsider their course to avoid deepening crisis dynamics and to prevent unintended repercussions for both European security and civilian populations. In official remarks, the concern is presented as a matter of sober assessment rather than a political jab, aiming to influence public perception and policy discussion in allied capitals and international forums.
