There's only one country's leader in all this that can make a choice that would put a stop to all the death and destruction immediately. Hint: it's the one who decided to start all the death and destruction in the first place.

What's next? Shall we start training Ukrainian suicide bombers?

DU rounds and cluster munitions will make the country unlivable - from a breadbasket to a wasteland.

DU rounds and cluster munitions are already in use in Ukraine, by the Russians. The damage is being done no matter what. So why is it suddenly a problem when it’s the Ukranians, who are desperate for any advantage to keep their country theirs? They’re certainly not happy with having to use methods that damage their land, but they’ve made the decision that it’s a risk they’re willing to take in order to not be annexed by a brutal foreign power.

The video I posted, which got -32 and counting, but which is from, I would say, a reputable source, claims that the UK was not able to produce evidence that Russia was already using Uranium before giving Uranium to Ukraine. (if I remember correctly) But no one F-fing watches it :P

BTW I totally understand Ukraine using them. I am skeptical about others providing them...
