soviet era cluster ammunition is already in use, and the more firepower ukrainians get now the less uxo from russian artillery remains in their land after the war

also ukrainians asked for cluster ammunition for the longest time, so they made the decision with full understanding of consequences (they were manufacturers and users of cluster ammunition for a long time)
