Depleted uranium has virtually no radioactivity, but because its specific gravity makes the element the most dense in measure of grams per cubic centimeter (19.07 g/cc, compared to lead, (11.35 g/cc), the kinetic impact it makes upon striking armor plate is far greater than that of lead or other combinations of alloys commonly used for projectile weaponry.

And the vaporized heavy metals produced on impact are far more poisonous then other dense metals. How many people will be poisoned and how many birth defects will happen because of this? Who cares, right. It's just Ukraine, not like it affects us.
