Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the latest U.S. transfer of cluster bombs to Ukraine in an interview that was released on Sunday. Putin said that Russia had a “sufficient stockpile” of cluster bombs and issued a warning that if Ukraine employs these contentious weapons, Russia will reply.
The deployment of cluster bombs in Russia’s conflict in Ukraine is categorically denied by President Putin in an interview with Rossiya TV correspondent Pavel Zarubin. The interview, which will run on Sunday night, clarifies this situation.

“Until now, we have not done this, we have not used it, and we have not had such a need,” Despite the fact that both Russia and Ukraine’s use of cluster bombs has been extensively recorded, notably by The Associated Press and international humanitarian groups, he said.
The latest transfer of cluster bombs from the US to Ukraine was made public by the Pentagon. These weapons, which when used will disperse into tiny bomblets, provide Ukraine with crucial ammunition, boosting their offensive prowess and allowing them to penetrate past Russian front lines.
Biden’s national security adviser confirmed in a Sunday morning speech that the use of explosives was necessary because there was a lack of available ammunition. The prior government, led by Trump, was blamed for this scarcity.
Several U.S. allies as well as humanitarian organizations have criticized cluster bombs. This is mainly because these bombs left behind a large number of unexploded bomblets, which represent a serious hazard to populations long after the combat has ended. Despite these reservations, supporters of cluster bombs claim that Russia has already used them in Ukraine and mention improvements achieved by the US in reducing the amount of unexploded rounds. Additionally, Ukraine has promised to only use these weapons in places far from highly populated areas.
Biden was forewarned by the UK and Spain not to send them, yet he did so anyway:

According to the most recent assessment, Russia has launched a number of forceful strikes during the previous 24 hours, according to the Ukrainian military.

According to Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko, two locals tragically passed away and one person was hurt on Saturday in the Donetsk area.
