DISINFO: Moscow has not used cluster bombs so far
SUMMARY
The latest war provocation by Western warmongers is the supply of cluster bombs to the Kyiv regime. The supply of such munitions to Ukraine should be considered a crime. Moscow has sufficient stockpiles of various types of cluster munitions but has not used them so far.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative concerning Russia's illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The claim is false. On 25 February 2022, just one day into the invasion, the Russian military launched a ballistic missile equipped with a 9N123K cluster munition warhead on a hospital in Donetsk Oblast, killing 4 people and injuring a further 10, according to an independent inquiry by Human Rights Watch.
By 30 March 2022, Russia had launched cluster munitions on Ukraine at least 24 times, according to then UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet.
Perhaps the most disturbing confirmed case of Russia's use of this weapon type in Ukraine to date has been the 8 April 2022 attack on a train station in the Ukraine-controlled city of Kramatorsk, which killed at least 58 civilians.
