Ambassador Bodnar denies claims Turkey sending cluster bombs to Ukraine

Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar told this to the new agency Anadolu, when commenting on media reports that Turkey is allegedly supplying Ukraine with cluster munitions.

“I fully deny it, it is not true. The information was specifically constructed as psychological information warfare weapons, just to undermine the relationship between Ukraine and Türkiye and try to create the wrong image of Ukraine and Türkiye,” he said.

Bodnar stressed that international law prohibits cluster bombs and ammunition, and that Kyiv complies with international rules in its war to hold back Russia.

He said that he believed the allegation was part of a “Russian propaganda machine” against both Turkey and Ukraine.

As Ukrinform reported, the publication Foreign Policy wrote that at the end of last year, Turkey began secretly supplying Ukraine with Cold War-era cluster munitions.
