Zelensky panics as radioactive uranium found in Russian missile warheads after attack?| Ukraine

Ukrainian officials say traces of uranium were found in a recovered Russian missile warhead, raising fresh international alarm amid rising tensions on the battlefield. Kyiv’s Security Service reported elevated radiation levels after investigators examined an unexploded R‑60 missile reportedly mounted on a modified Geran‑2 drone, and said samples contained Uranium‑235 and Uranium‑238 isotopes. Emergency teams secured the warhead and moved it to a radioactive waste facility for further testing, while experts cautioned that depleted uranium, a dense by‑product of enrichment has established military uses, notably in armour‑piercing munitions. The discovery comes as Russia highlights its strategic arsenal, displaying the Sarmat missile, and as Kyiv warns that heightened Russian pressure aims to force an end to the war. The claim also fuels concerns that global focus is shifting from Ukraine to the Iran crisis, complicating international responses. Independent verification and lab analysis are pending, and officials stress more tests are needed to confirm the origin and military intent of the material.
