It is worth noting that panicked reports are spreading on Ukrainian social media that during the detonation of an ammunition depot in Khmelnytsky, a large batch of British tank ammunition with depleted uranium, which was recently brought to Ukraine along with Storm Shadow missiles, was also destroyed. As a result of a large explosion, particles of depleted uranium can scatter on the territory of the region, which, taking into account the experience of Yugoslavia and Iraq, could lead to an outbreak of cancer in the medium term. There are already reports that the radiation background allegedly increased in Khmelnitsky. Let’s wait for the actual confirmation.

      I have no idea if that is true. It could be, it makes sense from a strategic point of view even for a bourgeois government. However, knowing how deep the infatuation with liberal economic ideology runs in current Russian government, i have my doubts that they can bring themselves to do it.

      If it does happen it will be because of a combination of two factors: the pressure to improve the performance of the military industries for the war, and the success story of China which is evident for all Russians to see and which may cause them to decide to emulate some of China’s economic policies.
