The use of depleted uranium munitions has been fiercely debated, with opponents like the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons saying there are dangerous health risks from ingesting or inhaling depleted uranium dust, including cancers and birth defects.

No, the alternative is for the west to stop using Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia.

  1. if Ukraine lose completely most of ukrainans living in Ukraine simply get extriminated or forcely assimilated.
  2. Russia started the war when invided Ukraine in 2014. not sure where the "using" is.

their relatives were Jews killed in WW2 by the Nazis and Ukrainian collaborateurs like Bandera. That's abundantly clear from context

not clear at all. no mention about ww2 in his comment. moreover we did not talk about ww2 before, so this is most likely a watabolistic attempt justifying killing ukrainians because some of our ancestors were participating in pogroms of jews.

if we were talking about xx and previous centuries, then I would also mention crimes done by russians, poles and germans toward ukrainians

Regarding antisemitism, I would also mention that pogroms in the russian empire especially in places jews were allowed to live in (see the Pale of Settlement) and in europe were common.

Collaborants were everywhere in europe, america and russia. Regarding latter, see nazi-soviet parade in Brest-Litovsk as an example. But for some reason you only mentrion ukrainians and Bandera.

Yes we are talking about Ukraine right now which is why Ukraine is coming up a lot

as I understand their point they were saying that as Ukrainian nationalists tried to kill their family they are not especially sympathetic to the cause of Ukrainian nationalism. I may be wrong of course but that is what I interpreted their statement as meaning
