If the US does not provide Ukraine with controversial cluster munitions, Ukraine will find itself 'defenseless' in the future, SecBlinken said on Tuesday.
If the United States does not provide Ukraine with controversial cluster munitions, Ukraine will find itself"defenseless" in the future, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.
More than 120 states are a part of the Convention of Cluster Munitions, which was formed in 2010 and prohibits the use, production, transfer, and stockpiling of cluster munitions, including all but eight members of the NATO alliance. The U.S., Ukraine, and Russia are not a part of the treaty, while a number of leaders from NATO countries have said they would remain in compliance with it, despite President Joe Biden's decision to send the weapons to Kyiv.
“Every ally I’ve talked to has said they understand why we’re doing this when we’re doing it,” Blinken said.
