Kirby defended the US decision to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine in an interview with ABC News on Sunday. Kirby said that cluster munitions are being supplied now to make up for how fast Ukrainian forces are using up their other artillery. Kirby told ABC that "we can all agree that more civilians have been and will continue to be killed" during the Ukraine conflict, whether by means of cluster munitions, drones, or missile attacks. "If there is any logic behind the Administration's decision to transfer cluster munitions, it boils down to ‘it won't get any worse.’ The United States is ready to destroy life far from its own borders with the hands of Ukrainians," the Russian embassy said. The embassy emphasized that the West seeks to inflict strategic defeat on Russia, which, in turn, is defending its own people. On Friday, the US unveiled a new military assistance package for Ukraine that includes cluster munitions. The weapons are banned by the international convention, which has been ratified by 123 countries, excluding the US and Ukraine.

US De Facto Confessed to War Crimes in Ukraine - Russian Embassy
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States has de facto confessed to committing war crimes in Ukraine, the Russian Embassy in Washington said commenting on the recent remarks made by White House National Security Council (NSC) spokesperson John Kirby.
Kirby defended the US decision to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine in an interview with ABC News on Sunday. Kirby said that cluster munitions are being supplied now to make up for how fast Ukrainian forces are using up their other artillery.
"We have taken note of the Director for Strategic Communications of the NSC John Kirby’s statements about the provision of cluster munitions to Ukraine. The official de facto confessed to the United States committing war crimes during the Ukrainian conflict. He overtly stated that civilians would fall victim to cluster-type weapons. According to the perverted view of the White House representative, this does less harm than the actions of Russia," the embassy said in a statement.
Kirby told ABC that "we can all agree that more civilians have been and will continue to be killed" during the Ukraine conflict, whether by means of cluster munitions, drones, or missile attacks.
"If there is any logic behind the Administration's decision to transfer cluster munitions, it boils down to ‘it won't get any worse.’ The United States is ready to destroy life far from its own borders with the hands of Ukrainians," the Russian embassy said.
The embassy emphasized that the West seeks to inflict strategic defeat on Russia, which, in turn, is defending its own people.
On Friday, the US unveiled a new military assistance package for Ukraine that includes cluster munitions. The weapons are banned by the international convention, which has been ratified by 123 countries, excluding the US and Ukraine.
