(link is to a German mainstream news site since I couldn’t find a lot of people reporting about this in English yet and I want to stick to established pro-NATO sources so there are absolutely no doubts)

At a security conference in Munich the Ukrainian Minister of Infrastructure said they were asking for more cluster bombs white phosphorus munitions specifically and saying they were fully justified in using them since it was “only against Russian forces”…

This is after months of German media pretending that Russia was uniquely evil for supposedly secretly using weapons like this, so you can imagine how hard German news and government officials are trying to cope with Ukrainian ministers just straight up saying that lol

Further context: even NATO affiliated sources sometimes reluctantly admit that Ukraine has has been receiving and using cluster bombs and that their primary use is killing civilians.

    “What? We’re just using them against Russians…” God, the dehumanization is real. I hate to quote a virulent lib like Stephen King, but ‘when you sew the dragon’s teeth of hatred; don’t be surprised when you wake up with dragons in your garden’– and the West has done a WHOLE LOT OF SEWING this last few months.
