(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Germany called for closer examination of allegations that Ukraine government forces used cluster munitions in their military campaign against pro-Russian separatists.
The allegations were contained in a report by Human Rights Watch, which said evidence pointed to Kiev's forces using cluster bombs this month in Donetsk, the rebels' main stronghold in eastern Ukraine. The report said the rebels may have used similar weapons.
"We call upon the parties in the conflict to co-operate in a thorough clarification regarding the alleged use of cluster bombs," German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said.
