Behind the bland public media release covering the Biden-Sunak forty-minute meeting, one trusts that in private our prime minister expressed disapproval of the US decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine. Biden's rationale is that, like the US, neither Ukraine nor Russian subscribe to the international convention on cluster munitions, and that Russia is already using cluster bombs against Ukraine. But when the war is over, Ukrainian agriculture and people will pay a price as a result of unexploded bomblets which may remain in the soil for a generation or more.
