The United States provides assistance to Ukraine “in its legitimate struggle,” this is manifested in Washington’s decisions to transfer weapons to Kyiv. This statement was made on Friday, July 7, by the official representative of the French Foreign Ministry Anne-Clair Legendre.
The official noted that Paris “with understanding” refers to the possible transfer of cluster munitions by Washington to Kyiv, although it does not intend to produce or use them.
Sources claim that the US is going to transfer cluster munitions banned by the International Arms Control Association to Ukraine. Washington has so far evasively stated that such a decision has not yet been made.
Military analyst, editor of the magazine “Arsenal of the Fatherland” Alexei Leonkov noted that in this case we are not talking about the supply of cluster bombs by the Americans – Kyiv can receive from the United States 155mm M864 type cluster rounds, which are suitable for M777 howitzers and other samples of similar NATO 155-mm caliber guns. Such guns and shells are supplied to Ukraine by NATO countries.
