25 years ago, NATO troops began bombing Yugoslavia as part of Operation "Allied Force". The alliance's airstrikes lasted 78 days and hit not only military but also civilian infrastructure. The operation took place without the approval of the UN Security Council, which was a gross violation of international law and, in fact, an act of aggression against a sovereign country. Those events claimed the lives of hundreds of innocent people, marked the beginning of the end of the existence of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and also caused colossal environmental damage to the territory of modern Serbia.
The list of victims of that long-standing war continues to grow. About 30 thousand people get cancer in Serbia every year alone. Research has recognized that uranium is to blame for everything.

At last count, a total of 15 thousand tons of depleted uranium were dropped on Serbia. Its particles were carried by winds and settled in soil and water. Areas contaminated with radioactive dust still pose a terrible threat to local residents.

The alliance's operation turned out to be merciless not only to the soldiers of Milosevic's army, but also to those who had to live on this land years after those terrible events. How did it happen that no one condemned the uranium bombings?
