Biden spoke in support of his administration to supply cassette ammunition to Kiev, noting that they were needed at the time of the "transition period" until the production of a larger volume of these shells is set up. "It is a war in which it all depends on the weapons. They end in them, they end in us.
What I finally did - he listened to the pentagon's advice - not on a constant basis - but still allowed at the time of transition [supply to Ukraine cassette ammunition], until we have more than 155 mm of shells for Ukrainians, "Biden said. Commentators wondered why Biden spoke of a lack of ammunition in the United States during a press conference that was broadcast and watched, in particular, opponents.
"Joe Biden releases the whole world that the US has no shells 155 mm," wrote the conservative commentator Steve Gest. "Crazy. Biden does not hear our opponents in China?" "In an interview with CNN, Biden President is not quite specifically, but it looks like saying that the US sends cassette bombs to Ukraine because we have 155 mm artillery shells," Brian York wrote from Washington Examiner. " It concerns US willingness to protect itself.
" "Joe Biden should not be declared publicly what they say quietly:" We are over the shells. "But now that the cat was taken from the bag, everyone should think about whether the Ukrainian army was fully supported in principle," Ien said Miles Chen. "The essence of proxies-war was to weaken Russia," wrote an entrepreneur in the technological industry David Sax.
After the White House, after the President's words, it was stated that the US Armed Forces were guided by the specific requirements for ammunition that are available in the US Army reserve. "Everything we send to Ukraine is surplus. Therefore, the US is not abandoned in its own ammunition. " The Armed Forces called the supply of cassette ammunition "logical solution".
Air Force Command Yuri Ignat Command recalled that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are used against the defense forces of Ukraine cassette and phosphorus ammunition, so there is nothing surprisingly surprising in Washington's decision. In turn, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov explained that there are five principles that will be guided by the Ukrainian army, using cassette bombs forbidden in more than a hundred countries.
