WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration has decided to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine and is expected to announce on Friday that the Pentagon will send thousands as part of a new military aid package worth up to $800 million for the war effort against Russia, according to people familiar with the decision.
The decision comes despite widespread concerns that the controversial bombs can cause civilian casualties. The Pentagon will provide munitions that have a reduced “dud rate,” meaning there will be far fewer unexploded rounds that can result in unintended civilian deaths.
U.S. officials said Thursday they expect the military aid to Ukraine will be announced on Friday. The weapons will come from Pentagon stocks and will also include Bradley and Stryker armored vehicles and an array of ammunition, such as rounds for howitzers and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, known as HIMARS, officials said.
Long sought by Ukraine, cluster bombs are weapons that open in the air, releasing submunitions, or “bomblets,” that are dispersed over a large area and are intended to wreak destruction on multiple targets at once.

Lefties LOVE cluster bombs now suddenly. Read it on DU.

Biden extracting Votes / opposition of Impeachment Inquiry.
That’s why he always says it’s not happening- and later - he reverses his position.
Joe Manchin has done it for years
A favorite tactic of Leftists everywhere.
Yeah, it’s Code Blood and Guts this time around.
That cocaine at the White House goes a long way.
Jaw hooks to be turned South.
...”and they met in a place called.....
....... ARMAGEDDON.” ❌
...and you’re telling Russia this why?
There is no plan, no strategy from our woke, DC Group-think bubble-dwellers.
Any fantastical ideas of collapsing Russia or dethroning Putin disappeared in March 2022
Now its all just ad hoc. There are no adults in charge.
This is Biden’s plan to cover up for the Biden Crime Family…. They’ll just start a nuclear war
As the USA sinks into rhe west as a failed nation the Nazi thug counts worthless largesse donated by infamous crooked,liar Biden
Incredibly wreck less.
Biden must want WW3.
And today I saw my FIRST REPORT of UKRAINIAN USE OF A CHEMICAL WEAPON.
That report may or may not be true and, if true, it doesn’t mean it was sanctioned by the Ukrainian government. It could have been a “one-off” improvised toxic chemical dispersal device.
I think there is a Russian plan. I’ve said for a year that there will come a time when Russia will have had enough of NATO supplied and directed weapons killing Russians. When that time comes they will strike into Ukraine and Eastern Poland where the weapons staging areas are. I think the Russians will do terrible damage to these targets. The Russians will take enough of additional Ukraine to coordinate an overall defense incorporating Belarus territory and assets and Wagner. They will do this under the cover of the Belorussian and Donbas nuclear guarantee zones. There will be your 1000 mile Checkpoint Charlie. Or the traitors and dipshits running this in DC will take it nuclear by going on the NATO offensive.
Very dangerous! Biden keeps escalating the situation over and over again.
I think half of Congress was in on this money.
Greece would know.
Great, escalate the proxy war with Russia.
