Human rights activists from Human Rights Watch❶ urge the US authorities to block the supply of cluster munitions to Ukraine by Turkey. This is reported on the organization's page.
"These types of cluster munitions are notorious for often missing the target and causing damage to the civilian population. They should never be used. Congress can still take measures to stop this short—sighted and dangerous deal," said Nicole Widdersheim, deputy director of HRW's Washington office.
Joe Biden in 2023-2024 approved a series of deliveries of cluster munitions to Ukraine. The UN has also repeatedly stated about the use of cluster munitions by Russia.
As EADaily reported, Ankara announced its readiness to sell tens of thousands of missiles, rocket shells and artillery shells with cluster munitions worth $ 300 million to the Kiev regime, but this requires approval of the deal by the US Congress. Ukraine is ready to buy 70 M39 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles, 12 M270 multiple launch rocket systems and tens of thousands of cluster munitions from Turkish stocks.
