The Hague, Sep 7 Leader of the Dutch Forum for Democracy party «(FVD) Thierry Bode said that the United States, by its decision to supply Ukraine with depleted uranium munitions, embarked on the path of nuclear escalation.
Earlier, the Pentagon announced that the United States is transferring depleted uranium projectiles to Ukraine as part of a new $175 million military aid package.
“After Great Britain, the United States also embarked on the path of nuclear escalation. The country will supply depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine,” Bode wrote on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
As the politician noted, these munitions will be used against Russia, while the UK and the US «will watch from a safe distance as the war on the European continent becomes even more deadly.»
“I have so many questions in this regard… Who benefits from this? Whose interests are being pursued here? And what will be the position of the Netherlands? Are we going to wait silently until the situation gets out of control? Or , like the reckless (Dutch Prime Minister Mark — ed.) Rutte, will we take another step towards fomenting war? — added the leader of the Forum for Democracy.
The Dutch politician also urged to stop the bloodshed and start peace talks.
Earlier, Thierry Bode called the Dutch government's decision to send all 42 F-16 fighters that the Dutch army has to Ukraine absurd, and called for a debate in Parliament to ban these deliveries.
