Russia is not using them. Only Ukraine has been.
So you're okay with them using chemical weapons, petal mines (which they have), bioweapons... just anything goes, right? The people of Crimea and Donbas are "defenders", can they do anything too?

Chemical weapons: no, due to their effects easily leaving the AOR. Petal mines: yes. Crimea and the Donbas are occupied Ukrainian territory.
It is well documented, by Human Rights Watch and others, that **the Ukrainian military **has used cluster munitions. There is nothing to support a claim that Russia has done so. The Pentagon has rejected the earlier claimed evidence of Russian cluster munition attacks:
Get some consistency man, you're all over the place.
Your Pentagon cite is from when the conflict was less than a month old. That is worthless.
Fair enough, I've yet to see any credible evidence though.
