AFAIK, the only real use for DU rounds is penetrating another tank's armor.
I have watched lots of footage from this war, and I can only remember one single tank-on-tank encounter. I think it was very early on in the war, when nobody knew what the fuck was going on. And the regular tungsten rounds (or maybe even HEAT) seemed to do their job just fine.
The west just wants to trigger the Russians by harming civilians.
That and maybe bunker busters, but they're definitely mostly sending them to poison the land. Maybe that means they've given up on turning back the annexation.

Add the dam destruction into the picture, and that seems very likely.
