Nikolay Denkov noted that the US decision is military, not political

LONDON, July 11. /tass/. Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov claims that Ukraine's successes on the battlefield in the conditions of the ongoing conflict are more important than the Convention on Cluster Munitions of 2008, to which more than 100 countries have joined. He made the corresponding statement on Tuesday in an interview with the British TV channel Sky News, stressing that his country is a party to the convention.

"Yes, we have banned cluster munitions and therefore, from our side, we consider this decision [by the United States to supply them to Ukraine] not political, but military," Denkov said, refusing to answer a direct question about whether Sofia supports the transfer of this type of projectiles to Kiev. "At the same time, we are witnessing a full-scale war, and during the war agreements are important, but success on the battlefield is even more important," he added.

On July 7, Assistant to the US President for National Security Jake Sullivan said that the United States had decided to transfer cluster munitions to Ukraine, the use of which is opposed by the UN. He also noted that Kiev had provided Washington with written guarantees to minimize the risks to civilians when using this type of ammunition. Pentagon Press Secretary Patrick Ryder noted that the United States intends to pick up cluster munitions for Ukraine, which allegedly will pose a minimal threat to civilians.
