Issued on: Modified:
Anotny Blinken announced 1 billion dollars of American aid to support the Ukrainian counteroffensive, including ‘depleted uranium ammunition’ for the army’s tanks. The weapons are powerful but controversial. Opponents warn uranium munitions pose health risks, including cancers and birth defects by inhaling uranium dust. It is the first time the US has provided the weapons since the Russian invasion began. FRANCE 24’s Leo McGuinn tells us more.
