Ukraine has been fighting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Europe for years and now wants to use cluster bombs against the enemy.
In Ukraine, Putin is using these and other bombs to kill civilians and soldiers alike every day. The way to get cluster bombs out of Ukraine is to get Putin out of Ukraine.
This is the moment. Putin is off balance and losing the war at home. The new weapons will demoralize Russian troops into flight or surrender and hurt Putin in Russia. Ukraine knows where it will use bombs against Russian soldiers and will clear duds and Russian mines from its own country as soon as Putin is forced out.
Ukrainians are the ones who are dying to protect their country and the West, while critics in safe places far away presume to tell Ukrainians how to die and for how long.
