It's official: Cluster bombs will be sent to Ukraine.

Banned in most of the world except #Ukraine, #USA and #Russia, because of the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians they cause.

This escalations from the US follows the many others ("defence weapons", long range artillery, tanks, etc) that were considered madness at the beginning of the Russian aggression.

The world doesn't seem to have learnt that "we do it for the greater good" doesn't lead to anything good.

What's the next forbidden weapon that will be rebranded as good because"the good guys" are the ones using it?

End this madness now.

@erc Russia has already sent cluster bombs to Ukraine - as part of their illegal aggression. Ukraine needs to defend itself against those orcs. If Ukraine won't use them, Russia still will.
p.s. More than 3 countries allow cluster munition, see the map (countries in purple have ratified the convention).

@naktene Cluster bombs kill civilians indiscriminately. Using them is wrong and like fighting evil with evil.

The UN human rights associations condemned the use of cluster bombs in Ukraine. Both sides.

@erc Ukraine not using cluster munitions wouldn't stop Russia using them.
