Former VP Pence says he supports President Biden's decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine, despite pushback from some members of Congress and human rights groups.
despite pushback from some members of Congress, human rights groups and the prohibition on them in more than 100 countries.
Pence, who's running for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, said in an interview on Fox News'"America's Newsroom" that it's in the U.S. interest"to give the Ukrainians what they need to stop [Russians] there." "But Joe Biden’s been slow on it," Pence said."I mean, he just approved the cluster munitions, which the Russians have been using for a year and a half against Ukrainian forces."
"I welcome the cluster munitions," added Pence, who suggested that providing these weapons to Ukraine is key to the country's success in battling Russia."I think it ends by giving the Ukrainians what they need to win." His remarks come as President Joe Biden is set to meet with U.S. allies at the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. Ukraine is expected to be a central issue during the meetings Biden holds there. A number of America's closest allies — the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Spain — have opposed sending the weapons to Ukraine.
