"After the announcement of the use of shells with low-enriched uranium, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for the British to get off this path in official terms," the TASS ambassador said.
He recalled that these shells are used not only in Challenger tanks, low-enriched uranium is also used in German Leopard tanks.
"Therefore, this is a standard NATO practice. There are no such weighty considerations that could force them to abandon established military practices, "said Kelin.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that such a decision by Britain would lead to a serious increase in escalation, and Russia would take this into account in its actions and would rely on its military doctrine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin also said that Russia will be forced to react if the collective West begins to supply Ukraine with weapons with a nuclear component.
On March 21, a member of the British House of Lords, The Minister of State for Defense of Great Britain, Annabel Goldie, reported that London would send Kiev "ammunition, including armor-piercing ammunition containing depleted uranium."
