The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, has appealed to the U.S. and Ukraine not to use cluster bombs in the war with Russia as the real victims are the Ukrainians.

“In the past few days, there have been news releases that the U.S. will provide cluster bombs for Ukraine to fight against the Russian army. If it is true, it will be the greatest danger for the Ukrainians for decades or hundreds of years when the cluster bombs are used in Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia,” wrote the Cambodian Premier in a message on his Telegram channel on July 9.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen mentioned about Cambodia's painful experience of the American bombardment in the early 1970s, saying that it has been more than half a century now, but they [cluster bombs] have not been all cleared yet.

“I know for sure that Cambodia is a small and weak country, we have no influence, but we take pity on the people of Ukraine. [Therefore,] I’d like to call on the U.S. president, the donor and the Ukrainian president, the recipient not to use cluster bombs in this war because the real victims are the people, especially the Ukrainians,” Samdech Techo Prime Minister underlined.
