U.S. officials said on Thursday that the United States intends to provide cluster bombs to Ukraine in their fight against Russia. This move, although opposed by human rights organizations, would significantly enhance Ukraine’s counteroffensive capabilities.
According to Reuters, the arms assistance package, which includes cluster munitions fired by a 155 millimeter Howitzer cannon, is expected to be officially announced on Friday.
While the White House confirmed that the possibility of sending cluster munitions to Ukraine is actively being considered, no official announcement had been.
On Thursday, Human Rights Watch urged both Russia and Ukraine to cease the use of cluster munitions and called on the United States to refrain from supplying them. The organization’s report highlighted that both Russian and Ukrainian forces have utilized these weapons, resulting in the loss of Ukrainian civilian lives.
