Biden criticized for sending cluster munitions to Ukraine

The recent decision of US President Joe Biden to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions was a mistake, writes 19FortyFive. According to the author of the article, it may prompt many countries to withdraw from the convention to ban these weapons.

Biden's decision has weakened the campaign to eliminate cluster munitions. Disarmament activists and human rights advocates have long considered these weapons inherently indiscriminate and inhumane - denying them a place on modern battlefields

But the arguments to justify Biden's decision from U.S. officials, military experts and pro-Ukrainian commentators belie the very desire to ban cluster bombs. If world leaders internalize them and repeat supplies, the convention could be in serious danger, the author of the material believes.
