"Cluster Munition Monitor found Russia to be responsible for more than 90 percent of the cluster munition attacks that killed and wounded 890 Ukrainians in 2022, the vast majority civilians."
"Russia’s state-controlled media – propaganda outlets manage to discuss cluster munitions without mentioning its documentation of Russia’s repeated use of cluster munitions in Ukraine"

Russia Denies Its Widespread Use of Cluster Munitions

There has been strong global media interest in the latest annual report on cluster munitions, “Cluster Munition Monitor 2023.” Russia’s state-controlled media – propaganda outlets for the government – have covered it, too, which may seem surprising until you look at the Russian coverage.

Myanmar’s armed forces have used an apparently domestically produced cluster bomb in attacks in several parts of the country since 2021, including as recently as yesterday, 31 August 2023.

The Official Website of the Chinese People's Liberation Army(#PLA) condemns #US shipments of #clustermunitions to #Ukraine, because they "pose long-term threats to the civilians". So far so good, but it does not equally condemn use by #Russia. It would be good if this article were a serious rethinking of #China's policy on cluster munitions and result in a decision to join the global ban by acceding to the Convention on Cluster Munitions. #banclusterbombs http://eng.chinamil.com.cn/OPINIONS_209196/Opinions_209197/16240659.html
US cluster munitions to Ukraine a source of endless trouble - China Military

China Eastern Airlines flight MU5735, en route from Kunming to Guangzhou, lost contact and crashed over Wuzhou city of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region at 14:38 on March 21. The PLA Southern Theater Command launched the emergency response mechanism at the news.

Es ist grausam, dass die USA jetzt wirklich Streumunition an die #Ukraine liefern (und der Nato-Chef das noch gutheißt). Bei allem Leid, bei aller Notwendigkeit zur Selbstverteidigung, Streumunition gehört international geächtet und zerstört, nicht in einem Krieg eingesetzt. #banclusterbombs #clusterbombs
