Putin: Providing cluster ammunition to Ukraine and using it is a criminal expert | Russia | Ukraine
In a program broadcasted on the "Russia-1" channel on July 16th local time, Russian President Putin stated that providing cluster ammunition to Ukraine and using it should be considered a crime. The United States provided cluster ammunition to Ukraine due to an overall shortage of ammunition. Russia has sufficient reserves of cluster ammunition and reserves the right to use it as a response measure.
When asked by reporters if Russian experts would conduct research on the captured American made "Bradley" infantry tank, Putin stated that the Western equipment captured by Russia would be the subject of Russian expert research.
The US government announced on the 7th of this month an additional $800 million worth of military support to Ukraine, including cluster ammunition. This move has caused widespread controversy and concern in the international community.
