NATO Has No Common Stance on Cluster Munitions for Kiev, Decisions Made by Members
14:34 07.07.2023 (Updated: 10:43 03.08.2023) Cluster munitions are explosive weapons that are dropped from the air or launched from the ground and release smaller submunitions. Such a weapon can be, for instance, a cluster bomb ejecting explosive bomblets designed specifically to kill personnel or destroy vehicles. Such weapons pose a particular threat for civilians.
NATO does not have a common stance on cluster munitions for Ukraine, decisions on the matter are made by the member states themselves, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday.
"NATO, as an alliance, does not have a position on the convention on cluster ammunition because a number of allies have signed the convention, but a number of allies have not signed the convention. It is for the individual allies to make decisions on the delivery of weapons and military supplies to Ukraine," Stoltenberg told reporters ahead of the Vilnius summit.
On Thursday, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily
Nebenzia said that the United States supplying cluster munitions to Kiev would represent yet "another step" in escalating the conflict in Ukraine.
Earlier this year, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov urged the US against escalating tensions by providing Ukraine with cluster munitions.
