The country received new military aid

BY A STAFF REPORTER: U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan announced Friday that the U.S. will send cluster weapons to Ukraine as part of a new military aid package. The announcement comes after months of debate within the Biden administration over whether to supply Ukraine with controversial weapons banned by more than 100 countries, including key U.S. allies.

"I'm not going to stand here and say it's easy, it's a tough decision," Sullivan said. It's a decision that we've postponed. It was a decision that required a really hard look at the potential harm to civilians.
