Proof of UN nuke policy doublespeak? IAEA justifies nuclear component use by Ukraine against Russia

The United Nations organisation IAEA, responsible for keeping a check on global nuclear safety, appears to be backing nuclear component use against Russia. IAEA director general Rafael Grossi has openly ’endorsed’ the use of munitions with depleted uranium by saying it does not create a direct radiological threat. UK Minister James Heappey confirmed in late April that Britain had sent Ukraine thousands of shells for Challenger 2 tanks, including depleted-uranium rounds. Russia sees DU shells aid for Kyiv as a clear trigger for the escalation of war. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the UK wants to scorch the earth in Ukraine. The latest ’doublespeak’ by a UN body is all set to attract heat from Russia. #nuclear #russia #ukraine #unitednations #iaea #vladimirputin #volodymyrzelensky #ukrainerussiaconflict #russiaukrainewar #ukrainewarnews Hindustan Times Videos bring you news, views and explainers about current issues in India and across the globe.
