So Ukraine using cluster munitions on its own territory? Old story, whether it was 2014 or 2023.
Besides which, the 2014 Ukrainian Government were Russian backed.
Whats the point you are making anyway?

Either side can and have/will use whatever they see a use for. It's just sad a bunch of old unfit 50 year olds take so much glee in it all.
The point was come the next conflict treaties and accords trying to ban the use of certain weapons are effectively worth nothing.

Wait a week or so for some free thinker to come in with this same enlightened talking point he totally came up with on his own by looking into it, because that hasn't happen before.
Bunch? seems like only two people are taking glee. One of which seems to have been hitting the panzerschokolade a little too hard.

The Ukrainian government in 2014 wasn't Russian backed, the pro-Russian President fled the country in February 2014.
In 2014 Petro Poroshenko became President after Pro-EU rioters forced the previous President Viktor Yanukovych to leave the country, Poroshenko continued the war in Donbas which included using cluster bombs on Russian speaking civilians in Donetsk. You can say it was on Ukrainian territory and no one will disagree, but bombing civilians with cluster bombs on your own territory isn't exactly a sign of good governance.
Well what with shrinkflation these days a bunch is just more than 1
Not when you're fighting an enemy who target residential districts and hospitals deliberately killing tens of thousands of civilians with indiscrimate strikes with thousands of missiles
They used the very munitions you are complaining about as well as the much worse phosphorus ammo that literally burns people alive
Morals seem to be a casualty of war when you're fighting a lunatics who has no morals.

They're correct, just not in the way they think they are.
The rich in Russia must be using all sorts of schemes to get their money out in ways where the Russian state isn't stealing it and the west isn't locking their accounts.
I'm all for the well known saying "If its good for the goose............"
No weapon use treaty applies to any of the beligernts in Ukraine ; cluster rounds, thermobaric rounds, mines - the USA, China, Russia never signed any of those treaties against their use.
Intermediate Range weapons are in use every few days by Russia.
Russia has already admitted to breaching the CWC:

I think the point was more that it's just bots posting exactly the same words, as opposed to the content of the posts.
Twitter enables this behaviour and doesn't seem to do much to stop the bots.
Weapon transfers, including banned cluster munitions, spike in Ukraine
Arms and ammunition transfers to Ukraine have increased rapidly in recent months, alongside concerning reports of deliveries of banned cluster munitions, the UN’s top disarmament official told the Security Council on Thursday.
Bold is mine - he is literally parroting the Kremlin
I swear half the conversations on here are with an algorithm. Even if there is a trained monkey bashing the keyboard, there's literally no point trying to argue with them. It just gives them more opportunity to confuse, dissuade and perpetuate the nonsense their handler has decided on this week.

Twitter is the worst for it, and the comments on most posts are just toxic nonsense because nothing gets moderated.
It's even worse now the bots can buy blue ticks as well.

12 million unexploded shells lie under the forrests and fields of Verdun
If each shell is 50lb, thats 250 kilotonnes of explosive potential. In 1 part of france.
If no more mines are laid from today, it would take 1100+ years to clear them all, and the main users are not signed to any treaties
The deadly legacy of landmines
More than two decades since the adoption of the landmark Mine Ban Treaty and the creation of the UN Mine Action Service, millions of landmines have been destroyed, but land in nearly 70 countries globally is still contaminated and innocent people continue to be killed or maimed.
