Turkey has been supplying Ukraine with U.S.-developed Cold War-era cluster munitions since November 2022, Foreign Policy magazine reported.

According to its sources, the ammunition in question is the so-called "Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition," which was produced in Turkey during the Cold War as part of a joint production agreement with the United States. The weapons are designed to destroy tanks by bursting into smaller submunitions, which can linger on the battlefield for years if they don't immediately explode.

As the newspaper notes, Kiev had previously tried for several months to get Washington to supply such munitions, but the United States is currently unable to export DPICMs to other countries because it is prohibited by U.S. law.

18+ - Substation foreman tragically killed during AFU shelling of Kirovsky district in Donetsk

Heartbreaking footage from the Kirovsky district of Donetsk. Today's terrorist attack targeted Skochinsky mine. A Ukrainian shell pierced the roof of the mine power substation, killing foreman Vitaly Leonidovich Agienko. When journalists arrived, his body remained lying at his place of death.

The deceased left behind a wife and two small children who lost their only breadwinner. After a short time, his elderly mother, who had worked at the same mine for many years, came to the scene of the tragedy. The grief of a mother who loses her children cannot be expressed in words.

🇺🇸American "trooper of misfortune" Mark Lindqvist burst into tears on camera

The veteran, and now an ordinary Ukrainian mercenary, misses his "friends" destroyed in Ukraine very much.

In short: everyone around is killed by Russian strikes, and the government of Ukraine uses people like meat, there is no support.

Mark is upset by the idle talk of the Western countries, who promised support, but in fact send people to the slaughter.

To fight the Russians is not to drive the natives across the field with a stick. Mercenary money in a fight with Russia is the most expensive money. Possibly the most precious thing in life.

The thief is tearful, and the rogue is devout. True, there is a more capacious and popular interpretation of this proverb.

Do you also cry for the innocents in the Donbass being blown up by HIMARS?

Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a new term - The "Soledar cauldron".

It cooks quickly, by the way. And the chef is very good.
