🗣️ On the level of corruption in the US:
“What about US corruption? I mean, you see a Congress that frankly is incredibly corrupt. The Congress people are lining their own pockets a lot of times from the defense industry that they're funding through these wars... We've spent, I think the latest calculation I saw, something like $8 trillion on war since 2000. $8 trillion, can you imagine the human needs that could have been satisfied with that money?“ labor attorney, human rights activist and author Daniel Kovalik told Sputnik.

🗣️ On why the use of depleted uranium brings up great concerns about nuclear contamination in Ukraine:
“When you fire depleted uranium munitions, sometimes they are pyro ferric, they catch fire themselves, but on contact they can also catch fire, and it also pulverizes the uranium into microscopic dust. So it's kind of the perfect storm of hazard. You've got toxic heavy metal, you've got radioactivity that can be contaminated with much higher level radioactivity from high-level radioactive waste,” Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear, told Sputnik.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 French member of the European Parliament Thierry Mariani on Friday condemned the European Union for not speaking out against the United States' decision to supply Ukraine with depleted uranium shells, calling it double standards.
"After supplies of cluster munitions, which are banned and condemned in most European countries, the US is sending Ukraine depleted uranium shells ... And the EU keeps silent. Constant double standard that enable us to justify everything ... Even what cannot be justified," Mariani posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

🇩🇪 German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Friday that the supply of long-range Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine is challenging as it takes time to agree on every detail.
"This is not something that can be done quickly as it was with Leopard tanks or IRIS-T air defense systems. Every detail needs to be clarified first," Baerbock said in an interview with German media group Funke.
The foreign minister noted that Kiev's request for the transfer of Taurus cruise missiles is "more than understandable," although she declined to answer whether she considers it necessary to limit their strike range.
