Former US President Donald Trump has criticized the decision of the United States to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions, which he says is leading to the Third World War, the EFE agency reported on Tuesday, as quoted by Agerpres.

Current US leader Joe Biden “must not drag us into World War III” by delivering controversial cluster munitions; instead, Biden “must try to end the war (in Ukraine) and stop the horrific death and destruction caused by an incompetent administration,” Trump said in a statement.

Last week, Biden approved the supply of cluster munitions from the Pentagon’s arsenal to Ukraine. The decision, which circumvents an existing legal ban on the production, use and supply of such weapons, came after organizations such as Human Rights Watch (HRW) urged the US not to provide them.

President Biden said that this decision was “difficult” but necessary because “the Ukrainians are running out of ammunition.”

But Trump, the first Republican to announce his intention to run for president in 2024, warned of the dangers of unexploded cluster munitions that would “kill and maim innocent Ukrainian men, women and children for decades.” war”.

Donald Trump blames the “policy of endless war in Ukraine”

In a statement released by his Make America Great Again (MAGA) campaign office, the former US president alluded to Biden’s allegedly involuntary admission that the real reason Washington has sent these types of bombs is because the US is “running out of ammunition”.

If true, Trump added, it further underscores “the urgency of immediately de-escalating this bloody, dangerous and out-of-control conflict.”

It also means that “we should not send our last reserves to Ukraine at a time when our own arsenals are dangerously low,” he continued.

Trump assessed that “Biden’s policy of endless war in Ukraine has weakened the United States tremendously,” including the “humiliating admission” that the country is “running out of ammunition,” something that is sure to “make our enemies drool.”

“We must stop this madness, immediately stop the bloodshed in Ukraine and focus on America’s vital interests,” he said.

Trump also spoke out against sending tanks to Ukraine

At the beginning of this year, the former Republican president also spoke out against sending American-made tanks to Kyiv in the context of the fact that on January 25, Joe Biden announced the approval of the supply of 31 Abrams tanks to the Ukrainian army.

“FIRST TANKS AND THEN NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Stop this insane war NOW. It’s so easy to do,” Trump wrote a day later on the Truth Social social network, which he launched in October 2021 after major American social media platforms blocked his accounts following a mass riot outside the Capitol in Washington.

Last August, Trump also said that Ukraine had to give up Crimea and its desire to join NATO in order to make a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“They should have at least made a deal. He could give up Crimea. He could have done something with NATO, “OK, we’re not going to join NATO,” and then you’d have a country, because I think Putin wanted to make a deal. And I think that now he does not want to make a deal. I think it’s much more difficult to make a deal. He undermines everything. I mean, he’s going to take the whole seat,” Donald Trump said.

The former American president also said then that “it is very, very sad what happened to Ukraine. It’s very, very sad,” adding that Ukrainians “need to come to an agreement before everything is over. You have hundreds of thousands of people who are dead and maimed – some maimed.’
