Ukraine’s Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov explained on Twitter the ammunition would not be used to target recognized Russian land
Ukraine’s Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov welcomed the U.S. decision to send cluster bombs to Kyiv, saying it would help to de-occupy the Ukrainian territory but vowed that the munitions would be not used in Russia.
Reznikov said the munitions would help save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers, adding that Ukraine would keep a strict record of their use and exchange information with its partners. “Our position is simple – we need to liberate our temporarily occupied territories and save the lives of our people,” Reznikov wrote on Twitter. “Ukraine will use these munitions only for the de-occupation of our internationally recognized territories.
Jake Sullivan, President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, on Friday sought to make the case for providing the arms to Ukraine to reclaim territory seized since Russia invaded in February 2022. Reznikov said the military would not use cluster munitions in urban areas and would use them only “to break through the enemy defence lines.”
