Posted: Jul. 10, 2023 3:28PMPrime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will continue to strongly advocate that cluster bombs “should not be used,” after the United States announced it is sending the munitions to help Ukraine’s war effort against Russian aggressors.
The prime minister said Canada was one of the countries that led on the banning of cluster munitions and it will “continue to stand very strongly” on its position, adding in French they should “never” be used. Ottawa pioneered efforts in the 1990s to ban anti-personnel mines, and was among the most enthusiastic nations to sign the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, though the U.S. and Ukraine have never endorsed that pact.
Washington has argued that Ukraine needs such arms to keep up its counteroffensive against Russia as Kyiv runs out of certain weapons that won’t be replaced until industrial production catches up.
