UK and Spain discourage use of cluster bombs

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Spanish Defence Minister Margarita Robles do not approve of the use of cluster munitions.

This was reported by Sky News and RTVE.

The UK Prime Minister highlighted that the country had signed a convention banning the production or use of cluster munitions and does not encourage their use.

"We will continue to do our part to support Ukraine against Russia's illegal and unprovoked invasion, but we've done that by providing heavy battle tanks and most recently long-range weapons, and hopefully all countries can continue to support Ukraine," Sunak said.

The Spanish defence minister also said that she was against the US decision to provide Ukraine with cluster munitions, but respected the decisions of a sovereign state.

"Spain, based on the firm commitments it has towards Ukraine, also has a firm commitment that certain weapons and bombs cannot be delivered under any circumstances," Robles said.

As a reminder, it was decided to transfer cluster munitions to Ukraine. This decision is not supported by the UN Secretary-General.

At the same time, Ukraine's Defence Minister Reznikov explained how the ammunition would be used.
