According to a report yesterday in The Hill, at least 38 human rights groups oppose the transfer of cluster munitions to the Kiev regime. “These are already all over the country and will need to be cleaned up. That is not a good enough excuse for the United States to be sending more,” said Sarah Yager, the Washington director at Human Rights Watch (HRW). “Legislators, policymakers and the Biden Administration will probably think twice when the pictures start coming back of children who have been harmed by American-made cluster munitions.”
The Hill notes that the Pentagon maintains the cluster munitions could help Ukraine advance and stop the Russian bombings. But Eric Eikenberry, the government relations director at Win Without War, countered the argument as “speculative.”
