My understanding is that the Ukraine grows and exports a significant amount of grain, and that the leftover dust from depleted uranium rounds is pretty dangerous.

    The Donbas is actually the least agriculture intensive region of Ukraine, iirc about 10% of production. Ukraine is using DU because they know they are going to lose and wish to simply punish the Donbas for an eternity.

    The infected soils won’t just stay in Donbas, but the Westerly wind will generally take these soils further EAST into Russia and the steppe.
