Sullivan clarifies that "this is the moment to start building that bridge so that there is no period during the summer or this autumn when Ukraine is short of artillery."
He also said that the decision to provide cluster munitions to Kyiv was made after consultations, approval by allies and Congress. According to him, Ukraine has provided written guarantees that it will "minimise the risks to citizens" when using these munitions.
