Biden’s “difficult decision” to supply cluster bombs to Ukraine is questioned even in NATO

Countries like Canada, Germany, Spain, among others, disagreed with the Pentagon’s decision considering that cluster bombs are not used for the “legitimate defense” of a country, as indicated by the head of Spanish Defense, Margarita Robles.

The US decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine is another deliberate demonstration of its anti-Russian course, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

His Chinese colleague, Mao Ning, stressed that “an irresponsible supply of cluster bombs might easily lead to humanitarian problems. It is necessary to solve military security and humanitarian problems in a balanced way, exercise restraint and caution in the transfer of cluster munitions.” .

The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson suggested that all parties “stop adding fuel to the fire and aggravating the controversies that further fester the Ukraine crisis.”

Guatemala continues without official electoral results by court order

The Supreme Court of Justice of Guatemala ordered to grant 10 more days to comply with the order of the Constitutional Court to review the minutes of the scrutiny of the first round of the presidential elections.

The following day, the Superior Electoral Tribunal presented its report announcing that it concluded the review process of the June 25 elections, without having found major differences.
