US-supplied cluster bombs will not affect Russian military operation – Moscow

Providing “yet another wonder weapon” to Kiev is nothing but an act of despair on Washington’s part, the foreign ministry has said

Washington’s decision to hand over cluster munitions to Kiev only shows that Ukraine and its Western backers are “powerless” to change the situation on the frontlines, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said on Saturday. 

The use of this new ammunition would hardly affect the Russian military campaign but would have “dire consequences” for civilians, she noted in a statement published by the ministry.
