USA green-lights depleted uranium for Kyiv; Moscow calls it 'an indicator of inhumanity'
Yesterday, the Pentagon announced a new security assistance package worth up to $175 million for Ukraine, including depleted uranium ammunition for M1 Abrams tanks the US plans to deliver to Ukraine this fall.
It is the first time the US will be sending the controversial armour-piercing munitions to Kyiv.
The Pentagon said the military aid would also include anti-armour systems, tactical air navigation systems and additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems …or the HIMARS.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced new aid for Ukraine in a visit to Kyiv, including about $665m in new military and civilian security assistance, as he hailed the months-long counteroffensive against the Russian forces in the country’s southeast.
In an internal investigation, the Pentagon on Thursday admitted that American forces had misidentified an intended al Qaeda target during a drone strike in Syria in 2023, killing a civilian in the process. Citing classified material, the U.S. Central Command stated in a statement that it was unable to disclose many investigational details to the public. Although the strike complied with U.S. policy and the law of armed conflict, the investigation "uncovered several areas that could be strengthened."

Ukrainian soldiers have expressed frustration with the inadequacy of US-made M1A1 Abrams tanks against Russian forces and drones. The 47th Mechanized Brigade, the only unit operating Abrams, cited insufficient armor, vulnerability to drones, and electronic issues. Despite field modifications, the tanks are seen as outdated, with Russia claiming eight kills and towing one as a trophy to Moscow. Experts describe the Abrams as a relic unable to withstand modern warfare.
