As the conflict between Ukraine and Russia rages on, the White House has acknowledged that Ukrainian forces are employing United States-supplied cluster munitions on the battlefield. These weapons were provided to Ukraine for the first time earlier this month, as Kyiv endeavors to dislodge entrenched Russian troops and regain lost territory from Moscow’s invasion last year.

Cluster munitions are known for dispersing numerous small explosive charges that can pose long-term risks to civilians, as they often remain unexploded in the ground. Many countries have banned their usage due to the potential harm they can cause to innocent lives.
