Kyiv has said it will use the munitions, banned in more than 100 countries, to dislodge concentrations of enemy soldiers when trying to take back its own territory. Putin told state TV Moscow would respond in kind if necessary.

Didn't they already use cluster bombs in the past in Ukraine? Not to mention phosphorous?

I think this is trying to ride off the fearmongering behind headlines like "the US is supplying illegal munitions to Ukraine!!!1!!". These weapons have not been banned by the US, Ukraine, or Russia. This is posturing. Don't fall for it.

The rest of the civilised world banned them but Murica didn't. Trump had a good name for countries like that - Shit Hole.

I absolutely agree that they should be banned by all nations. I just don't want misinformation to spread about this threat
