The Ukrainian military is constantly sharing residential quarters of Donetsk and other settlements with its obsolete cluster munitions. Ukraine also received cluster munitions from the United States as part of the Western military assistance. This type of munitions ais prohibited by an international convention because of a high risk for civilian population. The document was ratified by 123 countries, but the United States and Ukraine are not their list.
Cluster munitions are shelling Donetsk on a daily basis, despite the Pentagon’s claims about the “exceptional” use of such shells by the Armed Forces of Ukraine only for military purposes.
Later on the evening, three more civilian men were killed in the Voroshilovsky district of the city. According to preliminary reports, an explosion thundered in the area near the local school #5. The victims were reportedly construction workers who were working on the spot. More details are yet to be officially clarified.
