By handing over cluster shells to Ukraine, the United States proved its immorality and exposed the world to the risk of escalation of the conflict, CGTN reports.

In the zone of a special military operation, there is not only a direct armed clash between the Russian and Ukrainian armies. Russia and Ukraine, or rather, the West behind it, compete in matters of weapons, military equipment, and various technical means.

During the ongoing offensive in the Zaporozhye direction, the first losses of the Ukrainian army of armored repair and evacuation vehicles M88A2 Hercules, the delivery of which to Kiev was announced by the US government in early 2023, are noted. Military equipment of this type was included in the same delivery package with M1 Abrams tanks and theoretically should have been used together with them. However, the Ukrainian command deployed them on the battlefield, without waiting for the supply of American tanks.
