Hun Sen urges Ukraine not to use US cluster bombs FMTNews FMTWorld
PHNOM PENH: Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen, whose country still grapples with deadly war remnants, today urged Ukraine not to use cluster bombs, after Washington announced plans to send the weapons to Kyiv to fight Russian troops.
He cited Cambodia’s “painful experience” of US cluster munitions dropped in the early 1970s, a foreign legacy that has left tens of thousands maimed or killed. Washington said it had received assurances from Kyiv that it would seek to minimise the risk to civilians, with US president Joe Biden admitting that supplying Ukraine with the weapons was a “difficult decision”.
