Why though? Can't imagine that these rounds are going to change the course of the war, so why? Are they out of non-Uranium ones?

Nope the effectiveness is the point.

Imagine being this bloodthirsty you're willing to let Ukrainians suffer the effects of depleted uranium just to kill more Russians

I think Russia would be the most bloodthirsty if this was a contest. Good try though.

Please don't use that against them, even as a bit as it's extremely powerful and causes irreperable emotional damage. Be mindful, libs are people too.

The body count of the West is several orders of magnitude higher than Russia's

"let" Ukrainians.

Your patronising colonial mask is slipping.

Ukrainians have ASKED for these weapons so they can get rid of the murderous, child torturing Russians out of their country.

Stop amplifying the propaganda of child torturers.
