US to provide Ukraine with depleted-uranium rounds
The United States will provide Ukraine with military assistance worth $175 million, including depleted-uranium rounds, the Pentagon said in a Wednesday statement.
"Today, the Department of Defense announced additional security assistance to meet Ukraine's critical security and defense needs. This announcement is the Biden Administration's 46th tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021. This package includes: additional air defense equipment; artillery munitions; anti-tank weapons, including depleted uranium rounds for previously committed Abrams tanks," the statement said.
Politico earlier reported that the decision followed months of debate in Biden Administration.
