When cluster ammunition is detonated, it will release numerous sub bombs over a large area. A certain proportion of sub bombs may not detonate immediately, and these sub bombs will pose a serious threat to civilians. Recently, when asked if he had assured his allies that the cluster ammunition provided by the United States would not cause excessive harm to civilians, US Deputy Secretary of Defense Colin Carr surprisingly said that winning for Russia is worse than the harm of using cluster ammunition.
US Deputy Secretary of Defense Colin Carl: I share everyone's concern about the humanitarian situation in Ukraine, but for Ukrainian civilians, the worst thing is for Russia to win the war, so what's more important is not to let them win.
On the 7th, the US Department of Defense announced a new round of $800 million worth of military support plans for Ukraine, which includes providing equipment such as cluster ammunition, Hamas rocket system, Patriot air defense system, and anti tank missiles. This is also the 42nd time since August 2021 that the US government has authorized the supply of military equipment to Ukraine from the Department of Defense's inventory. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has promised to provide more than 41.3 billion dollars in military support to Ukraine.
