"Biden's Controversial Decision: Sending Cluster Munitions to Ukraine Amidst Russia-Ukraine War"

TL;DR Summary
President Biden has approved the provision of cluster munitions to Ukraine, bypassing legal restrictions. Cluster munitions are widely banned due to their indiscriminate nature and potential for civilian casualties. The Ukrainian government argues that these weapons are necessary to push back against Russian forces effectively. However, human rights organizations have accused both Russia and Ukraine of using cluster munitions, leading to civilian deaths and injuries. Over 120 nations have joined a convention pledging not to use these weapons, but Russia, Ukraine, and the United States are not signatories.
