*Nearly 700 Civilians Killed or Wounded by Cluster Munitions So Far in Ukraine War.*

There is a treaty that prohibits use of cluster bombs, but since Russia has not signed it, I think that is not very persuasive as a reason to condemn the Putin forces for using them.

The cogent reason to condemn the use of them what the article tells us about their effects: they mainly hurt civilians. Using them is one indication that hurting Ukrainian civilians is something Putin wants.

All countries should sign the treaty to prohibit them; that includes the US.
