Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stated that Britain does not support the use of cluster munitions in response to the United States’ decision to send such bombs to Ukraine. Sunak emphasized that instead, Britain is assisting Ukraine by providing tanks and long-range weapons. He highlighted the UK’s commitment to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits the production or use of cluster munitions and discourages their use. Sunak expressed that Russia’s actions are causing immense suffering and emphasized the need for collective action against it. The use of cluster bombs is controversial, with some NATO allies feeling uneasy about it. These munitions release small bombs over a wide area, but some do not explode, posing hazards to civilians, particularly children. While more than 100 countries, including the UK and some NATO members, are part of the Convention on Cluster Munitions, the United States and Russia are not signatories. The decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine has received mixed views, with some supporting it as a means for Ukraine to defend itself and others urging Washington to reconsider due to concerns about civilian casualties. The Labour Party also has reservations about the use of cluster bombs and believes alternative weapons should be considered.
