Russian Embassy Condemns US Decision as Inhumane Amidst Ukrainian Counteroffensive
According to the Reuters, the US military assistance to Ukraine package has drawn criticism from the Russian embassy in Washington, which described it as a sign of cruelty. The embassy asserts that the United States is deceiving itself by not acknowledging the Ukrainian military’s counteroffensive’s failure. Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed satisfaction with the progress made in pushing back Russian forces and emphasized that the new US military assistance to Ukraine package will help sustain this momentum.
Earlier, Washington had announced its intention to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine as part of its US military assistance to Ukraine, despite concerns about the risks these weapons pose to civilians. The use of depleted uranium munitions has sparked intense debate, with opponents, including the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons, pointing to serious health risks associated with exposure to depleted uranium dust, including cancer and birth defects.
