WASHINGTON - The United States announced on Friday that it will send Ukraine cluster munitions - prohibited by more than 100 countries - as part of an US$800 million security package, a move Ukraine said would have an “extraordinary psycho-emotional impact” on Russian forces.
“We recognise that cluster munitions create a risk of civilian harm from unexploded ordnance,” Mr Sullivan told reporters. “This is why we’ve deferred the decision for as long as we could.” Cluster munitions typically release large numbers of smaller bomblets that can kill indiscriminately over a wide area. Those that fail to explode pose a danger for decades after a conflict ends. Ukraine has asked for these weapons to fire against Russian positions with dug-in troops.
New Penguin drones, munitions for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and ground vehicles such as Bradley fighting vehicles and Stryker armoured personnel carriers were also included in the security aid - the 42nd such US package for Ukraine totalling more than US$40 billion since the invasion.
