US to send controversial cluster munitions to Ukraine despite international bans
- President Biden approved sending cluster munitions to Ukraine as they face ammunition shortages in fighting against Russia.
- Cluster munitions are widely banned internationally due to concerns about harming civilians, but the US, Russia, and Ukraine have not signed the ban.
- The US will provide a version of the munition with a reduced failure rate to minimize risks.
- Reactions from allies and human rights groups have been mixed, with some opposing cluster munitions while others see them as necessary.
- Ukraine has pledged to use the munitions responsibly and avoid civilian areas as they attempt to reclaim territory from Russian forces.
