Vladimir Putin has said Russia will be forced to act if the UK supplies ammunition with depleted uranium to Ukraine. The Russian leader made the remarks in a press conference with Chinese president Xi Jinping, where the two leaders had met for talks in Moscow. Putin claimed the west had shown no interest in a peace deal with Russia over the war in Ukraine, adding that a proposal from China could set the foundation for a ‘peaceful settlement’. This comes after Lady Goldie, the minister of state at the UK’s ministry of defence, vowed Britain will be providing ammunition to Ukraine that includes armour piercing rounds, which contain depleted uranium.
