Zakharova: The US has decided to provide cluster ammunition to Ukraine with the aim of prolonging the conflict
On the 8th local time, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova commented on the US decision to provide cluster ammunition to Ukraine, stating that the Biden administration's decision to provide cluster ammunition to Ukraine is another manifestation of US anti Russian policy. The purpose of the US anti Russian policy is to prolong the conflict as much as possible.
Zakharova emphasized that the "experience" of using cluster ammunition in the Middle East and other parts of the world indicates that their sub bombs can remain unexploded for a considerable period of time and detonate after military operations have ended. By providing cluster ammunition, the United States will fully assume responsibility for the deaths caused by the explosion, including those of Russian and Ukrainian children.
Zakharova calls on the international community to respond appropriately to the above facts. She also stated that the US decision to provide cluster ammunition to Ukraine will not affect the progress of Russia's special military operations.
