The North Atlantic Treaty Alliance isn’t taking a position on whether the Biden administration should provide controversial cluster bomb munitions to Ukraine as part of a security assistance package.
At a Friday press conference in Brussels, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that’s a decision for each country to make.
“It is up for individual allies to make decisions on the delivery of weapons and military supplies to Ukraine,” Mr. Stoltenberg told reporters. “This will be for governments to decide, and not for NATO as an alliance.” The White House hopes the decision will help Kyiv with its weeks-long counteroffensive. Ukrainian troops have made steady but slow progress on the battlefield. Their troops have come up against a dense tangle of Russian obstacles on the front line, including trenches and minefields.
