Putin warns UK over depleted uranium weapons - BBC News
Russia’s President Putin has warned that if the UK goes ahead with plans to supply Ukraine with shells containing depleted uranium, then Russia will be forced “to respond”.
The warning came on the second day of a visit to Moscow by China’s President Xi.
Vladimir Putin told the UK that Russia would be “forced to take action accordingly” if the UK supplies the weapons. He suggested it amounted to an escalation towards the use of nuclear arms.
In response the UK said depleted uranium had been used in munitions for decades and had nothing to do with nuclear weapons.
Depleted uranium’s great density and mass mean it can add to the effectiveness of armour-piercing weapons. However its use is controversial as the metal is radioactive and poisonous to humans and animals.

Ex-US Donald Trump says he expects to be arrested – BBC News
Donald Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday, and the former US president has urged his supporters to launch mass protests in response.
It comes as prosecutors have been investigating alleged hush money paid on Mr Trump's behalf by his lawyer to porn star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 presidential election.
If he is indicted, it would be the first criminal case ever brought against a former US president.
But, his lawyer said there had been no communication from law enforcement and the former president's social media post was based on media reports.
