Details: According to Shoigu, Putin “listens in detail to the command of the joint group, as well as individual colonels and commanders.”
Quote: “In detail on every front”.
More detail: Shoigu also claims that Russia reportedly “refrained and refrained” from using cluster munitions against Ukraine, but if the United States supplies such grenades to Ukraine, then the Russian armed forces “will be forced to use similar means of destruction against the armed forces of Ukraine. “
Background:
-
The United States has officially announced that it will provide Ukraine with a new $800 million package of military aid, which will include cluster munitions in particular.
-
At the same time, the US military explains that their cluster munitions have a “dud rate” of 2.35% or lower. And these cluster munitions pose a lower risk to the civilian population than the cluster munitions Russia is currently using in its war against Ukraine.
-
For example, in March 2022, Russian forces fired cluster bombs at the village of Kozacha Lopan, Kharkiv Oblast, killing at least six people.
