NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has stated that Ukraine“you’re running out of ammo” and that “everything possible to provide it” must be done, although the decision to deliver the controversial cluster bombs is an individual decision of each country.

“The truth is that, at least in the short term, Ukraine is running out of ammunition, so we have to do our best to supply it to you. Then, on the specific question of what type of ammunition exactly, that is a national decision of each and every one of the allies,” Stoltenberg said during the forum prior to the summit of NATO leaders which is taking place today and tomorrow in Vilnius.

In response to whether the United States’ decision to hand over cluster bombs to Ukraine, banned by more than a hundred countrieshas divided the allies, Stoltenberg has indicated that “some allies have signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions; others have not.”

“This is not a NATO position. The allies have different positions on that convention. What we have to understand is that cluster munitions have been used on both sides in this war,” he commented. However, he has differentiated between the use that Russia makes, “to invade another country”and Ukraine, “to defend against Russian aggression.”
