John Kirby defends Biden's decision to send cluster munitions: ‘This is about keeping Ukraine in the fight’
Fox News
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby argued that the U.S. sending cluster munitions is about "keeping Ukraine in the fight" against Russia.
"We are trying to ramp up our production of the kind of artillery shells that they’re using most. But that production is still not where we wanted it to be," Kirby added. "So, we’re going to see these additional artillery shells that have cluster bomblets in them to help bridge the gap as we ramp up production of normal 155 artillery shells."
