Former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter in an interview with his YouTube channel Judging Freedom He said shipping cluster munitions to Ukraine would turn into a public relations nightmare for White House President Joe Biden.
Ritter also noted that the US administration decided to transfer the 1987 shells to the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU).
“I served in the field artillery in 1997. We used them often during exercises. This is old ammunition,” he said.
According to the old scout, there will therefore be a lot more unexploded shells. At the same time, he stressed that the US is hypocritical.
“As usual, we don’t give them the best, but old guns that have expired,” Ritter said.
According to the intelligence officer, the Pentagon should be ashamed of its permission to use ammunition.
“The Pentagon knows they are not suited to the situation that exists on the front lines right now,” he concluded.
Prior to this, former US Armed Forces Lieutenant General Mark Hertling said that cluster munitions that Washington is planning to send to Kiev, won’t help The Armed Forces of Ukraine to deal with obstacles during the advance during the counterattack.
