Suspected cluster munitions have struck several buildings in Kharkiv after a series of explosions were captured on camera in Ukraine's second-largest city.

Sky News has pinpointed the videos to northeastern Kharkiv and a military expert said the shelling appears to be the classic pattern for a cluster munition.

Cluster munitions are a form of air-dropped or ground-launched explosive weapon that releases or ejects smaller submunitions - with the explosive bomblets designed to kill personnel and destroy vehicles.

"Kharkiv has just been massively fired upon by grads (rockets). Dozens of dead and hundreds of wounded," Ukrainian interior ministry adviser Anton Herashchenko said in a post on Facebook.

All courtesy of the NWO globalists creeping ever eastwards.

Too bad the Ukrainians don’t have some A 10’s.

Both Obama and Trump said no to Ukraine and NATO. Biden said yes.

That’s alright, they are arming the 6 year-olds next. That will put the fear into Putin.

Back when I played with the Army (US) I was told Soviet doctrine was to use massed artillery/rockets to ‘saturate the grid square’. Mostly because they lacked effective controls.

GRAD rockets (BM-21) are bad news.

The OWO globalists, which had Russia slaughtering, conquering and annexing its way westwards, is what we’re seeing on live TV today. The NWO* has voters and nations deciding their own fates. The OWO has the strongest, most ruthless conquerors deciding the fates of numberless subjects. The OWO had Russia lording it over captive nations. The difference between the NWO and the OWO is simple - when NWO alliance members want the US to leave - it leaves:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal_of_United_States_troops_from_Iraq_(2020%E2%80%932021)

When OWO members want to remove Russia’s forearm from their windpipes, this is what happens:

* That is what George Bush meant by NWO - the end of captive nations like the Warsaw Pact and nations enlarging their territory by armed force. Sadly, he was wrong that such a world order exists today.

That is not what he meant. He meant one world government.

Thanks for outing yourself as a GOPe snake.

Hi.

Normally cluster munitions are used on concentrations of troops, tanks, trucks etc.

IIRC, the US formally denounced use of cluster munitions a dozen or so years ago.

I hope I am wrong.
