Details: Miller also informed that the US had talks with allies and partners on this issue before making a final decision.

In addition, he specified that this decision was difficult, but necessary to provide Ukraine with the ability to repel Russian aggression.

According to Miller, the US received assurances from the Ukrainian side that cluster munitions will be used exclusively for military purposes, and that a large-scale clearing operation will be carried out after that.
