"US Officials Consider Equipping Ukraine with Long-Range Missiles Armed with Cluster Bombs"

The Biden administration is reportedly close to approving the shipment of longer-range missiles armed with cluster bombs to Ukraine, which would enable Kyiv to cause significant damage within Russian-occupied territory. The options under consideration are the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) with a range of up to 190 miles or the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) missiles with a 45-mile range. The decision is not final and could still fall through, as the administration has been cautious about appearing overly aggressive towards Russia. However, with Ukraine's push against Russian forces showing progress, the administration is keen to bolster the Ukrainian military. Cluster munitions are prohibited by many countries, but Russia, Ukraine, and the United States have not signed onto the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
