The Spin
Anti-Russia narrative
Russia and Putin are spreading disinformation about depleted uranium shells. These are standard components in modern militaries and have nothing to do with nuclear weapons or capabilities. The health risks associated with these weapons are low.
Pro-Russia narrative
The UK plan to ship depleted uranium shells risks an escalation of the conflict. These shells have well-documented health repercussions for the local population, and Russia will have to recalculate its approach accordingly. The UK is urged to reconsider its decision.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 20% chance that Russia will use at least one nuclear weapon on Kyiv before 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
