Especially because these things will be used on Ukrainian soil. So it will be Ukranian people who will have to deal with the fallout for years/decades to come.
I’m from neither country. I am however from one of the 100+ countries that has banned the use of cluster bombs for over a decade.
In my country, there’s still people dying from unexploded bombs leftovet from world war 1.

So yes, while I keep being staunchly on the side of Ukraine and NATO helping them, this is not something I like to see.
They are looking at short term benefits, understandably. I may be naive, but still believe they can drive the Russians out with more conventional weapons. The fact that they seemingly don’t think so is actually worrying.
