"Putin's Warning: Russia's 'Sufficient' Cluster Munitions and Potential Retaliation in Ukraine"

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia possesses a sufficient supply of cluster munitions and would consider using them against Ukraine if Ukraine uses them first. This comes after Ukraine received a delivery of American-made cluster munitions, although they have not been used yet. The decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine was controversial and criticized by human rights groups due to the danger they pose to civilians. Over 100 countries have signed a treaty prohibiting their use. US President Joe Biden defended the decision, stating that Ukraine needs more ammunition to push Russian troops out of Ukrainian territory. Putin claimed that Russia has not used cluster munitions, despite evidence suggesting otherwise.
