US sends Cluster Bombs to Ukraine




UK's PM suggested the country "discourages" the use of cluster bombs, while Spain criticised the decision.

When asked about his position on the US decision, Rishi Sunak highlighted the UK was one of 123 countries that had signed up to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits the production or use of cluster munitions and discourages their use.

Spain's Defence Minister Margarita Robles told reporters her country had a "firm commitment" that certain weapons and bombs could not be sent to Ukraine.

"No to cluster bombs and yes to the legitimate defence of Ukraine, which we understand should not be carried out with cluster bombs," she said.

  1. Britain and other European countries need to face reality and get their munitions industries on a war footing.
    It's fine to refuse any cluster munitions, but they are simply not meeting their commitment to supply munitions to aid Ukraine to defend its land.
    Failure to contain Russki aggression will eventually lead to shedding of Brit and European blood.

      "Failure to contain Russki aggression will eventually lead to shedding of Brit and European blood"

      Russko bear's territorial into western Europe expansion is forever an useful bogeyman on the minds of the conservative nationalists within that NATO pact to milk by the Yank.
