Controversy Surrounds US Decision to Send Cluster Bombs to Ukraine

President Joe Biden defended his decision to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine, stating that the war-torn country "needed" the controversial weapons to fight off invading Russian troops. The move has faced pushback from some Democrats who argue that cluster bombs can harm innocent civilians. Biden justified the decision by highlighting Ukraine's low ammunition levels and emphasized that the use of these weapons would be temporary and not in civilian areas. While some Republicans support the move, others, including Democrats, have criticized it, with concerns raised about the potential for war crimes and the loss of moral leadership.
