The Cluster Munition Coalition reports over 1,000 casualties from cluster munitions in Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022, with the majority occurring in 2022. In 2023, civilian casualties reached 93%, with children significantly affected. Both Russia and Ukraine have used these weapons, while the U.S. approved transfers to Ukraine.
