What’s so objectionable about Depleted Uranium Rounds? The US has used them for many years, hasn’t it?

It seems like what radioactivity risks there are, will mostly be faced by the Ukrainians using the shells. And in DC or London, they certainly don't care about that.

I suspect the Russians are most upset because depleted uranium will be more lethal to their armor.

“DU is less radioactive, mainly emitting alpha particles”

So, I guess it’s ok if the Russians use their “VX-Lite”..
