Original Note:
Psaki said the use of cluster munitions would “potentially” be a war crime: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2022/02/28/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-jen-psaki-february-28-2022/ But she was mistaken, because the US, Ukraine & Russia have not ratified the Convention on use: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Cluster_Munitions The post is also hypocritical, as Russia has and does use cluster munitions in Ukraine: https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/08/04/ukraine-apparent-russian-cluster-munition-attack#:~:text=The%20Russian%20cluster%20munition%20attack,to%20Human%20Rights%20Watch%20research.
