German President Steinmeier urged not to impede the supply of cluster munitions to Ukraine

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, in an interview with ZDF, urged not to impede the supply of cluster munitions to Ukraine, which the United States announced in its new military aid package.

Steinmeier also noted that the position of the German government, which opposes the supply of cluster munitions to Ukraine, is correct, however, according to the head of Germany, it is necessary to take into account the decision of Washington.

“But in the current situation, it cannot interfere with the United States,” Steinmeier said.

It is worth noting that the UK and Spain did not approve the supply of cluster munitions to Ukraine, pointing to the previously concluded international agreement, which provides for a ban on the use, storage, manufacture and transfer of this type of ammunition.
