"Pentagon Addresses Reports of U.S. Supplying Cluster Bombs to Ukraine"

The Biden administration is set to announce a military aid package worth up to $800 million for Ukraine, which includes the provision of cluster munitions despite concerns about civilian casualties. The Pentagon will supply munitions with a reduced "dud rate" to minimize the risk of unexploded rounds. Ukrainian officials have requested these weapons to aid their campaign against Russian forces, who are already using cluster munitions. The decision has been long sought by Ukraine and supported by Congress, but it remains unclear how America's NATO allies will view this move.
