  1. Why is the cluster bombs a provocation to a nation that uses it themselves??

  2. While cluster munitions are not banned internationally, more than 120 countries – including most NATO members – have signed on to a convention prohibiting their use. The US, Ukraine and Russia are not party to that agreement. Both Ukraine and especially Russia have used such bombs during the war. The "new thing" about it is Ukraine now gets US made bombs with about 3 % dud rate, while the Russian has a 30 - 40 % dud rate.

  4.  @RonnyMcAndrews  I doubt you'll learn anything by reading Kremlin propaganda. The use of cluster munitions during the Russian invasion has been recorded by a number of eyewitnesses and journalists, as well as representatives of the UN, humanitarian and public organizations. In particular, the head of the UN Human Rights Council, Michelle Bachelet, reported on March 30 (2022) at least 24 cases since the beginning of the invasion. Russian armed forces have indiscriminately shelled and bombed populated areas, killing civilians and wrecking hospitals, schools and other civilian infrastructure, actions that may amount to war crimes. “What we saw in Government-controlled Kramatorsk on 8 April (2022) when cluster sub-munitions hit the railway station, killing 60 civilians and injuring 111 others,” Bachelet said. As of July 1 2022, hundreds of attacks by Russian forces with cluster munitions have already been recorded in the settlements of the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson and Chernihiv regions. 215 civilians are known to have been killed in these shellings and 474 injured, many of which may go unreported. Both Russia as well as Ukraine have used cluster munitions during the conflict, however, Russian use has been extensive while Ukrainian use has been more limited.
