US supply of cluster munitions to Ukraine

Cluster munitions are missiles and bombs that burst in the air over the target, scattering or releasing many small explosive devices known as submunitions. A significant percentage of the explosive devices are often duds that do not detonate but remain on site as dangerous unexploded ordnance. Critics note that unexploded bombs can pose a deadly hazard to civilians for years after a conflict has ended. NATO allies Spain and the United Kingdom have distanced themselves from the US plan, while Russia has even talked of the move increasing the chance of nuclear war. The Russian Foreign Ministry has sharply criticized the US for pledging to supply controversial cluster munitions to Ukraine, despite the Russian military’s repeated use of the weapons during the ongoing invasion of the country. Is it necessary to use cluster munitions against Russia in Ukraine ?
