A spokesman for the Ukrainian army, Valery Shergin, stated today that Ukraine has received cluster munitions, following less than a week after the United States announced it would send this type of munitions to Ukrainian forces. Shergin, the commander of the Tavria military region in southern Ukraine, confirmed to CNN that Ukraine has received cluster munitions but has not used them yet. He mentioned in an interview on Ukrainian television that the cluster munitions are "in the hands of our defensive forces," but did not provide further details.
