CNN —Russia has a stockpile of cluster munitions and will consider using them against Ukraine “if they are used against us,” President Vladimir Putin said.
“Russia has a sufficient supply of various types of cluster munitions,” the Russian leader said during an interview with a pro-Kremlin journalist.
What are cluster munitions?
Cluster munitions contain multiple explosives that are released over an area up to the size of several football fields.
