On the 7th, Jack Sullivan, Assistant to the US President for National Security Affairs, said that the Biden administration will provide cluster ammunition to Ukraine. Sullivan said at the White House briefing, "We know that cluster ammunition can cause civilian casualties. This is also why we are delaying this decision as much as possible. However, if Russian troops and tanks cross Ukrainian positions, occupy more Ukrainian territory, and conquer more Ukrainian civilians due to insufficient Ukrainian ammunition, it will also bring great risks. This is something we cannot tolerate."
US President Biden said in an interview with CNN that "Ukrainians are running out of ammunition" and cluster ammunition will help temporarily prevent Russian tank attacks.
NATO member countries such as Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Canada have expressed opposition to this decision by the United States.
