The U.S. will provide Ukraine with cluster munitions, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on July 7.
"Russia has been using cluster munitions since the start of the war to attack Ukraine," Sullivan said.
"Russia has been using munitions with a high dud or failure rate of 30-40%," Sullivan added.
"In this environment, Ukraine has been requesting munitions in order to defend its own territory. The cluster munition that we would provide has dud rates far below what Russia is doing, not higher than 2.5%."
Sullivan added that this provision will come as part of a larger military aid package for Ukraine, which will be further specified by the Department of Defense.
Under Secretary for Defense Policy Colin Kahl later announced an $800 million military aid package, which will include cluster munitions, armored vehicles, and other types of ammunition.
