Twenty thousand people in Uzbekistan were besieged in Bakhmut, and Britain urgently sent depleted uranium bombs to help fight back.

In March 2023, Russia and Ukraine continued to wage a fierce battle in Bakhmut. Although Zelensky ordered 40,000 reinforcements, there are still 20,000 Ukrainians trapped in Bakhmut. In the face of the Russian army completely surrounded here, Wagner mercenaries also cut off Ukraine's supply line, which means that the situation has become more unfavorable to Ukraine.

In this context, Britain rushed to send depleted uranium bombs to help fight back, which completely angered Putin. The Russian side directly flashed the warning of nuclear weapons again, and if it continues to assist, it will take reciprocal countermeasures.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation in Russia and Ukraine has entered the second half, and it is difficult for Ukraine to have the hope of making a comeback. Bakhmut became the key, because if the city falls into the hands of Russian troops, at least the Donbass area will be completely liberated.

The important purpose of Putin's special military action against Ukraine is to liberate Donbass, demilitarize Ukraine and crack down on extremist forces in Ukraine. As long as Donbass is completely controlled by Russia, Putin can unilaterally announce the end of special military operations against Ukraine. After all, it is obviously impossible to launch a large-scale counterattack with the strength of Ukraine.

It is difficult for the Ukrainian army to hold Bakhmut. Although Ukraine has built the city into a fortress in the early stage, the Russian army will not be able to attack it for a while.

However, no matter how strong Bakhmut is, it is impossible to hold it when the Russian army forms an encirclement and cuts off the logistics supply line of the Ukrainian army. After all, there are at least several key factors in defending a city. First, sufficient troops, second, stable logistics, and third, the defenders can see hope and know that it is not meaningless resistance, but a chance to fight back. Ukraine didn't, so it was only a matter of time before Bakhmut fell.

In that case, why did Britain send depleted uranium bombs? When Zelensky put forward the spring counterattack plan on the occasion of the New Year in 2023, it also sought military assistance from NATO, including a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. It is worth mentioning that Britain is the first country to help Ukrainian western tanks this time.

After all, NATO used to give Soviet tanks and armored vehicles left by Yuan Hua and other countries. Britain was the first country to agree to provide Ukraine with its Challenger series tanks, and confirmed that the supporting ammunition included depleted uranium bombs.

Why are depleted uranium bombs so important? Let's talk about depleted uranium first, which is often nuclear waste after the use of nuclear power plants. Because it contains some radioactive elements, depleted uranium bombs are still more dangerous.

The country that uses the most depleted uranium bombs is the United States. Compared with ordinary armor-piercing projectiles, depleted uranium projectiles will be self-sharpened after contact with metal after launch. Different from ordinary alloy armor-piercing projectiles, the head will be rounded, thus reducing the depth of armor-piercing and greatly improving the armor-piercing ability of depleted uranium projectiles. But since it is a shell made of nuclear materials, the threat to the Russian army is naturally greater. Therefore, Putin does not intend to exercise restraint.

NATO countries have depleted uranium bombs, and Russia is also a nuclear power. Not only does the number of nuclear warheads rank first in the world, but there are also a large number of nuclear power plants and nuclear power plants. Therefore, Russia can also use a large number of depleted uranium bombs on the battlefield.

At that time, it will be Ukraine that is really polluted. Farmland was previously covered by mines and unexploded ordnance, followed by gas bombs and various chemical munitions, as well as depleted uranium bombs. I'm afraid it will be difficult to grow crops on Ukrainian soil in the future. This European granary is completely closed. If the situation escalates further and a nuclear war is triggered, perhaps Ukraine will no longer exist, and Britain, which took the lead in helping Ukraine, may not have a good fruit to eat.
