Ukraine has received cluster bombs from the US, munitions banned in more than 100 countries, but has pledged to only use them to dislodge concentrations of Russian soldiers in the war-torn country.
Valeryi Shershen, a spokesman for the Tavria, or southern, military district confirmed an announcement by his commander that the weapons had arrived a week after America said it would send them as part of an $800-million (£610 million) security package.
