Rishi Sunak has avoided a row with Joe Biden over his decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine, insisting the US was forced to make a “difficult choice” because of “Russia’s war of aggression”
Chris Hipkins, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, said last week that the weapons were “indiscriminate, they cause huge damage to innocent people… and they can have a long-lasting effect as well”.
Meanwhile, Margarita Robles, Spain’s defence minister, said the country’s firm stance on Ukraine meant “no to cluster bombs and yes to the legitimate defence of Ukraine, which we understand should not be carried out with cluster bombs”. No 10 played down suggestions that the UK and US hold divergent positions on Ukrainian membership of Nato, saying it was “not accurate” to suggest Mr Biden is more cautious over the move than Mr Sunak.
It is understood that Nato allies are still wrangling over the precise language used to describe the group’s support for Ukraine in a communiqué that will be published during the summit in Vilnius., will make an appearance at the two-day conference where he will urge allies to boost their support for Kyiv and reiterate its ambitions to join Nato as swiftly as possible.
