According to the diplomat, she no longer has data confirming this information. “If this information is confirmed, it will require an appropriate response from us,” Zakharova said, adding that she cannot yet say what it will be. “We have repeatedly stated that any supply of arms to the Kiev regime is a legitimate target (of the RF Armed Forces),” the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry recalled.
Recall that Reuters reported earlier that Kiev has included the MK-20 aviation cluster munitions in the list of weapons it wants to receive from Washington, and that Ukrainian officials are privately asking US lawmakers to put pressure on on the White House to accept. We are talking about free-falling unguided cluster bombs designed to destroy tanks and other armored vehicles. Each of these projectiles is equipped with 247 Mk.118 HEAT submunitions weighing 600 grams each.
It should be noted that in 2010 the Convention on Cluster Munitions entered into force, which prohibits the use, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions, but not all countries have not signed and ratified.
