This is a primer on the way the wind has been blowing since the Ukrainian ammunition stockpile was blown up at Khmelnitsky in the early hours of May 13.
Radiation measurements in the western Ukrainian city appear to have risen sharply on May 13 and 14, indicating that British-supplied depleted uranium shells for anti-tank warfare had been detonated. The radiation-level spiking caused by the release of the depleted uranium (DU) has been denied by Ukrainian officials.
US media reported on May 15 that “while not all of the facts and information about the multiple strikes on Western regions of Ukraine have been fully established, there are several elements to the viral conspiracy narrative that are provably false, misleading or lack evidence.” “While Newsweek could not rule out the possibility that the ‘depleted uranium’ shells provided by the U.K. had been stored there, past reports about the nature of these munitions put a big question mark over that claim.”
Newsweek endorsed Ukrainian government agency claims. “Energoatom, the National Nuclear Power Company of Ukraine, said in its official Telegram channel that ‘the radiation level at the industrial site [in Khmelnitsky] and in the surrounding regions is at a level corresponding to the normal operation of power units and does not exceed natural background values.’”
A statement by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has repeated the Ukrainian government claim without publishing independent radiation measurements of its own. The IAEA was reported by Newsweek as having “poured cold water over the claims. “The State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine has informed the International Atomic Energy Agency today that there have been no measurements of elevated levels of gamma radiation in the country’s western regions in recent days,” a representative of the international body told Newsweek in an email.” Social media from the region have indicated a rapid exodus of the population in the vicinity of the blast. Anti-radiation measures have been introduced for the residents of the Ternopol region, which neighbours Khmelnitsky to the west.
The wind has been blowing northwest into Poland since, and raining. The Polish state Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) has been reporting radiation-level spiking since May 15. The highest measurements have been reported at Lublin and Krakow in the south, and then Gydnia, a port on Poland’s north coast.
On May 19 in Moscow, Nikolai Patrushev, the secretary of the Security Council, said the “elimination [of the Khmelnitsky stockpile] has caused a radioactive cloud that is now moving towards Western Europe. An increase in radiation levels has already been registered in Poland.” Patrushev was repeating what the PAA had already confirmed.….. Follow Busby’s research report, published in March 2023, that “data covering the period November 2017 to November 2022 was obtained from the Atomic Weapons Establishment [AWE] Aldermaston to find if there was an increase in Uranium associated with the Ukraine war. Results from 9 High Volume Air Samplers deployed onsite and offsite by AWE showed that there were significantly increased levels of Uranium in all 9 HVAS samplers beginning in February 2022 when the war began. The result has significant public health implications for the UK and Europe.”
I will add, much being written on foreign sites that the Ukies most Likely had not only DU stocks from England , but possibly radioactive fuels rods from their nuke reactors stored there.
We will never know, but what we do know, radiation spikes are being recorded and drifting towards the war cheerleaders countries. Justice?
But all the Zeepers and paid propagandists on FR (we all know the names) told us: “Its just background radiation from the atmosphere and solar flares”
“Polish university sources and the Polish Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) corroborate the spiking. The highest levels reported publicly have been in Gdynia (0.103 μSv/h), Lublin (0.100 μSv/h) and Krakow (0.115 μSv/h).”
“Depleted uranium dust is perfectly safe to breathe continually!
In fact, we believe children can eat it and there are health benefits!”

“This is a primer on the way the wind has been blowing since the Ukrainian ammunition stockpile was blown up at Khmelnitsky in the early hours of May 13.”
Lots of assumptions in that statement. IMHO this was not an ammunition depot but more likely a fuel depot. There were two main explosions in the video and no secondary explosions as you would see with an ammunition dump exploding.
Here’s the Khmelnitsky event:

And here’s an actual ammunition explosion from five years ago and please note the difference:

Beware of Brits bearing gifts.
The way it is dangerous is that the metal itself is toxic. And if it was vaporized and inhaled or ingested, then yeah, it could be fatal. But it is less radioactive than natural uranium ore. If there is dangerous radioactivity there, it's not from DU.
I am well aware of DU, very well of its injested dust hazards.
Maybe you missed what EU social media is saying, that some Ukie genuinely authentic nuke powerplant material was stored at that location? Or some other low level radiation? Not me surmising, but what EU citizens are posting.
Who knows at this point? No one, but if true, it WILL come to light.
“Depleted uranium is exactly that. It’s depleted. The alpha waves it does emit can be stopped by paper. “
The decay chain includes both alpha and beta particles. This is the source for radon.
Alpha particles are He-4 nuclei and beta particles for this chain are electrons.
“Newsweek endorsed Ukrainian government...”
Ain’t that the truth.
0.100 μSv/h - 0.1 mRem/hr.
24 hrs = 2.4 mRem/hr.
NBD
If there is a “measurable increase in radiation levels” then something other the DU was blown up.
Learn some of that science you guys are always talking about.
The latest on the Ukie incursion into Russia. Defeated of course, the list of equipment captured and destroyed:
“ So, at the moment, in the total amount during the raid, the enemy
lost:
- 2 American armored cars M1224 MaxxPro (both captured) - 2 American armored cars HMMW M1151A1 (both damaged and
abandoned)
- 1 American cargo armored car HMMWV M1152A1 (destroyed)
- 1 Ukrainian armored car KRAZ COBRA (destroyed)
- 1 Polish armored car AMZ Dzik-2 (destroyed)”.
Mostly American equipment.
You can view their fate here, site chocked full of pictures and video of the ill fated stunt.

Hiya D7! It was an ill fated publicity stunt to divert attention away from the loss at Artyomovsk... to give all the useful tools in the media and in chat rooms across the internet a new shiny red herring to hold up to divert attention from the collective west's, and their own, failure.
Hoisted by their own radioactive petard.

Agreed, and judging by the lack of coverage by the western MSM, Artymovsk ( Bakmut) was historic in some ways.
NATO trained and equipped Ukie troops were soundly defeated by a bunch of privately organized “criminals and convicts”. Zelensky’s “ Fortress Bakmut”, ( his words) was a key transportation hub for the Donbass theatre. The rail hub will now enable Vlad to transport hundreds of tons of ammo, weapons quickly where needed.
In other words, Vlads artillery hammer will not cease anytime soon, in fact is expected to increase in the ten-14 days it will take to repair the rail lines and yards.
Russia’s artillery usage is absolutely devastating and historic, and there is nothing the collective West can do about it.
Well below the level of possible damage to humans.
Shame about Gdynia. Nice beaches, pretty girls...
One thing the Russians know is Artillery, as both Brits and Germany should remember from their own history...
Shame about what ? It’s rus pig fake news.
