On Tuesday, UK Minister of State for Defense Annabel Goldie said that the country will provide Ukraine with depleted uranium tank ammunition, including armor piercing shells for Challenger 2 battle tanks.
"The use of depleted uranium ammunition will dramatically reduce, or maybe even not preserve at all Ukraine's ability to produce high-quality uninfected food," Lavrov told a press conference.
The minister stressed that London's decision to deliver depleted uranium shells to Kiev is a step toward escalation of the conflict.
Lavrov added that Russia will take into account UK's possible supplies of depleted uranium shells to Ukraine.
"As for our reaction, of course, we will take this into account in determining our actions," Russian top diplomat stated.
