WASHINGTON: The United States plans to send cluster munitions to Ukraine to help it battle Russian invaders, US officials said on Thursday , a move opposed by human rights groups but which would provide a powerful new element to Ukraine's counteroffensive
Human Rights Watch called on Russia and Ukraine to stop using cluster munitions and urged the US not to supply them. The group said that both Russian and Ukrainian forces have used the weapons, which have killed Ukrainian civilians. Ukraine has urged members of Congress to press Biden's administration to approve sending cluster munitions known as Dual-Purpose Conventional Improved Munitions .A Pentagon spokesman said the Biden administration was considering sending DPICMs to Ukraine, but only those that had a failure rate lower than 2.35 per cent.
Also in the aid package to be announced, which is expected to be worth as much as US$800 million, Ukraine will receive munitions for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems , and ground vehicles such as Bradley fighting vehicles and Stryker armoured personnel carriers, the officials said.
