Ukrainians responsibly use cluster munitions that the United States provided to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh has said.

"We have put conditions on the Ukrainians, particularly as it relates to cluster munitions. They are required to tell us where they've used them, they are required to keep a list of how they've used them and what targets they have had," she said, answering a question regarding the conditions for the use of weapons that the United States provides for Ukraine and Israel.

The Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary also said "both Ukraine and Israel are engaged in two very different wars right now. I would say that the way that the Ukrainians are employing the DPICMs on the battlefield is responsible. They are keeping track of where they are going."

"That is something for their own safety that they are doing, in order to, when they start clearing those – when they start taking back their territory, to avoid further civilian casualties, to avoid any type of cluster munition that did not go off," Singh said.
