The human rights organization Amnesty International says that in the shelling of Kharkiv, Russia widely used cluster munitions banned in many countries of the world, as a result of which hundreds of civilians were killed.. This is stated in the report published on the website of the organization..

Amnesty International reports that it has evidence of the use of cluster munitions by Russian troops, including 9N210/9N235.

Cluster munitions are dangerous because they detonate in the air, scattering smaller charges dispersed over a large area, endangering civilians.

Submunitions often do not detonate at the moment of shelling, actually turn into landmines, and then pose a threat for many years. More than 120 countries have signed a treaty banning the use of cluster munitions.

According to Amnesty International, in two weeks the organization investigated the traces of 41 strikes in Kharkiv, which killed at least 62 civilians and injured 196 others.. Cluster munitions and unguided rockets have targeted civilians walking to the store, queuing for food aid, or simply walking down the street.

According to the Kharkiv regional administration, from February 24 to April 28, 606 civilians were killed in the region, and 1248 were injured, about 70% of them in Kharkiv.

In turn, the Russian invaders confirm that they use phosphorus and cluster weapons in the war against Ukraine..

These are especially dangerous and inhuman types of weapons prohibited by international conventions.. Russia continues to grossly violate the laws and customs of war, trying to destroy as many peaceful Ukrainians as possible. This is evidenced by another interception of the conversation of the invaders, published by the SBU..
