EUA confirma, apóia e faz vista grossa: crimes de guerra da sua aliada Ucrânia. Bombas cluster.
Munição cluster é para matar civis em quantidades em vasta área.
Com apoio EUA, Kiev fascista segue matando seu próprio povo.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The United States is to be blamed for Ukraine’s use of cluster bombs since it hasn’t provided the country with different weapons, US Senator John McCain, who serves as a Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, told Sputnik on Thursday.
“I think that if we had provided them with the weapons they need, they wouldn’t have felt they had to use cluster bombs. So, it’s partially our fault,” McCain said. Human Rights Watch confirmed in a report last November the claims of the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics that Ukrainian troops used cluster munitions in residential areas. The organization added that cluster munitions were used in the October 2 shelling of Donetsk by Ukrainian forces that killed an employee of the International Committee of the Red Cross. UN report on the human rights situation in Ukraine released in November stated that the use of cluster bombs in eastern Ukraine is a violation of international humanitarian law and may be considered a war crime.
Cluster munitions contain dozens or hundreds of submunitions, which spread over a wide area, endangering anyone in the vicinity. So far, 114 countries have joined a UN treaty banning such munitions. Ukraine is not a part of the agreement. Additional US military advisors will be required on the ground if the United States provides the Ukrainian government with lethal military equipment, US Senator John McCain said. “We require some,” McCain said of US military advisors needed in Ukraine. “But it’s not a large number that we need and they are not going to engage in combat. We will not put American troops in combat roles, but we will help them [Ukrainians] defend themselves.”
