(ANSA-AFP) - MOSCOW, MAR 22 - Russia on Wednesday warned of a
"serious" escalation of the Ukraine crisis if Britain gives Kyiv
armour piercing ammunition which contains depleted uranium.
"This is a step towards a further escalation, and a serious one
at that," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. He added that the
use of such ammunition would "sharply reduce" Ukraine's ability
to "produce high-quality, uncontaminated food". On Tuesday,
President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow would be "forced to
react" to any such British moves. Moscow has been reacting to a
written response by a UK defence minister, Annabel Goldie, who
was asked whether "any of the ammunition currently being
supplied to Ukraine contains depleted uranium". (ANSA-AFP).
