The Russian Foreign Ministry believes that Ukrainians are being depleted by NATO.

"The alliance has actually become an accomplice in terrible crimes. We all see that Ukrainians are just consumable material for NATO. No one cares about their fate, either in European capitals or on the other side of the ocean," Zakharova said at a press conference.

According to her, “incitement has been instigated, destruction has been destroyed, now they have begun to poison”. “I am talking about the attitude of pro-Westerners towards Ukrainian citizens. Recent reports about the UK's readiness to supply depleted uranium munitions to the Kiev government have become the height of shamelessness,” she explained.

Earlier, British Defense Minister Annabelle Goldie, in response to a request from the British Parliament, said that the country would transfer depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting on this initiative, said that Russia would be forced to react if the West collectively began to use weapons with nuclear components, and the West "decided to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, not with words but with actions"./.
