US Plans to Supply Ukraine with Tank Projectiles with Depleted Uranium – WSJ

Tuesday, 13 June 2023

The Administration of US President Joe Biden is planning to approve supplying Ukraine with projectiles for the Abrams tanks with depleted uranium.

A top-official from the US President’s administration commented to The Wall Street Journal that it is expected that Biden’s administration will supply Ukraine with projectiles with depleted uranium after weeks of debates concerning the ammunition the Abrams tanks should be equipped with.

WSJ reports that even though some officials state that there are no serious obstacles in the way of supplying Ukraine with such projectiles, some representatives of the White House are concerned that Washington will be subject to criticism due to the supply of these projectiles, as they are dangerous for people and the environment.

The White House is also considering supplying Ukraine with cluster bombs.

Earlier it was reported that the representatives of the Republican and Democratic Parties in the US Congress are once again insisting that Biden’s administration supply Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles.

Moreover, Ursula von der Leyen, Head of the European Commission, called "those who can" to supply Ukraine with long-range weapons.
