The military operation was undertaken without the approval of the UN Security Council and based on the assertion of Western countries that the authorities of the FRY carried out ethnic cleansing in the Kosovo autonomy and provoked a humanitarian catastrophe there.

According to doctors, the use of depleted uranium bombs by NATO aircraft in 1999 and destruction during air strikes on environmentally hazardous sites have led to the fact that now Serbia is the leader in deaths from cancer in Europe with almost 60,000 new cancer patients diagnosed annually.
