VOA News Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskyy joined NATO leaders Wednesday at the first sitting of a new NATO-Ukraine Council, on the second day of the #NATO summit in Vilnius.
Zelenskyy defended the #Biden administration’s decision to provide Kyiv with cluster munitions, weapons banned by more than 120 countries for their indiscriminate killing capability, saying it will help Ukraine defend itself from Russian aggression.
“It’s very simple to criticize cluster munitions,” Zelenskyy said to reporters during his meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden. “This decision will help us save us,” he added.
Washington’s decision has created discomfort among some NATO allies, many of whom are signatories of the convention that bans the weapons.
The Ukrainian leader noted that Moscow employs cluster munitions in the battlefield. “I didn’t hear some of your countries criticize #Russia,” he said. #news #voanews
