Ukraine receives cluster munitions, pledges limited use
  + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
"They will not be used on Russian territory...They will be used only in areas where Russian military forces are concentrated in order to break through enemy defences." Cluster munitions typically release large numbers of smaller bomblets that can kill indiscriminately over a wide area. Human Rights Watch says both Moscow and Kyiv have used cluster munitions. Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. have not signed up to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which bans production, stockpiling, use and transfer of the weapons. "I think cluster munitions will expand the capabilities of our troops."

"We're seeing the first results of the counter-offensive actions, localized results," Valeryi Shershen, spokesperson for Ukraine's "Tavria" military sector, said on television. He said the village lay on the edge of the Donetsk and Zaporizhzia regions a few kilometres south of the Kyiv-controlled village of Velyka Novosilka. The video from Blahodatne showed Ukrainian troops inside a heavily damaged building as the sound of artillery rumbled in the distance. Ukraine is going to win, Ukraine above everything," an unidentified soldier said in the video on Facebook. Russia has built vast fortifications across occupied territory to prepare for a Ukrainian counterattack using thousands of troops trained and equipped by the West.
