Days after Ukraine received delivery of American-made cluster munitions, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Moscow too has a stockpile of cluster munitions and will “consider using them” against Ukraine “if they are used against us,” CNN reported.
President Joe Biden on Friday said providing Ukraine with cluster munitions for the first time was a "difficult decision," but he was ultimately convinced to send the widely-banned weapons because Kyiv needed the ammunition against its ongoing counteroffensive against Russia, reported CNN
The announcement came following months of debate within the Biden government about whether to provide Ukraine with the controversial weapons banned by over 100 countries including key US allies.
Geneva [Switzerland], March 30 (ANI): UN rights chief Michelle Bachelet said on Wednesday said credible reports indicate that Russian armed forces have used cluster munitions in populated areas of Ukraine, at least 24 times since the start of the invasion last month.
