US ambassador to UN offers condemnation of Russian actions

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations on Wednesday condemned Russia for its attacks on civilians in Ukraine and its alleged use of cluster munitions and vacuum bombs — lethal weaponry that could lead to wide civilian casualties.

“We have seen videos of Russian forces moving exceptionally lethal weaponry into Ukraine which has no place on the battlefield,”  Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the General Assembly.

“That includes cluster munitions and vacuum bombs, which are banned under the Geneva Convention.”
