Original Note:
Russia, Ukraine and the United States are all not signatories to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), so it does not apply to the war in Ukraine. Russia has used them more often than Ukraine. U.S. views them as an effective weapon and force multiplier Ukraine now needs. https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/05/29/cluster-munition-use-russia-ukraine-war https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-cluster-bombs-munitions-us-military-counteroffensive-1811250
