US Democratic Lawmakers Introduce Amendment Banning Cluster Munitions Supplies

Democratic Reps. Sara Jacobs and Ilhan Omar have introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that bans the transfer or selling of cluster munitions amid reports that the Biden administration is set to approve the provision of these munitions to Ukraine, media reported.
The two congresswomen introduced the amendment on Thursday, the report said, adding that the Democrats "largely oppose" sending cluster munitions to Ukraine, while Republicans supported the move, believing it would help Kiev in the conflict.

"Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no military assistance shall be furnished for cluster munitions, no defense export license for cluster munitions may be issued, and no cluster munitions or cluster munitions technology shall be sold or transferred," the amendment was quoted by the Politico newspaper as saying.

The New York Times reported on Friday, citing US officials, that supplies of cluster munitions to Ukraine were expected to be a temporary move.

  1. США передадут Украине кассетные боеприпасы, сообщили в администрации президента США Джо Байдена.
    Штаты признают, что применение таких снарядов несет риски для мирного населения, поэтому Вашингтон откладывал решение об их передаче.
    При этом, в Белом доме утверждают, что Украина будет использовать кассетные боеприпасы на своей территории, минимизируя риски для собственного населения. Как уточнили в американской администрации, Вашингтон получил от Киева письменные гарантии, что снаряды будут применять "с осторожностью" во избежание рисков для гражданских.
