US will give Ukraine a new $400 million package

The United States plans to announce a new military aid package for Ukraine in the total amount of up to $400 million as early as Tuesday, July 25. The package consists mainly of artillery, missiles for air defense systems, including Patriots, and ground equipment as the Ukrainian military continues its counteroffensive, according to three US officials. The United States will not include cluster munitions in this package, two officials told reporters on condition of anonymity. Dr. Helen Caldicott, a global peace activist, told Sputnik. "Between 5% and 30% of these bombs don't go off right away," said Caldicott, founder of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Physicians for Social Responsibility.

"Many innocent people will die for years to come from these evil murderous contraptions." The Biden administration is sending cluster munitions to Ukraine, which is banned in 108 countries, to be used against Russian forces, with opposition from numerous US lawmakers nd human rights activists."Cluster bombs are, aside from depleted uranium (DU) weapons that cause cancer, genetic defects and birth deformities the rest of the time in the exposed population, the most horrific weapons ever conceived, aside from nuclear weapons that incinerate millions of people and could end all life on Earth. You choose which one to use," he said. he weapons were expressly designed to cause indiscriminate loss of life and horrific injuries over a large area, regardless of who or what the target was, Caldicott explained.
