Cluster munitions are very dangeorous to civilians, because they can lay unexploded in the ground for years, and, well, there are many of them.
The issue is, what is more dangerous to Ukrainian civilians over the next decade or two - unexploded munitions, which can hopefully be mostly recovered after the war, or the Russians, who rape, burn, pillage, kidnap and murder indiscriminately? Certainly they are happy to create ambiguity over whether they would blow up a nuclear plant.
Certainly given Russia is already covering the country with cluster munitions, I don't think it's unreasonable for Ukraine to use them, over their own territory. At the very least it's up to them.

- screye 3y ago> who rape, burn, pillage, kidnap and murder indiscriminately Is there any legitimate source for this other than random bad actors or anecdotal propaganda from western news source. This isn't a 10th century Viking invasion.

The UN has documented it pretty well. > This isn't a 10th century Viking invasion. Nope but what Russia is doing in Ukraine certainly at least rhymes very heavily with there actions in the. - First Chechen war - second Chechen war - Russo-Georgina war
