Russian use of Submunitions in Donbass

> 
> I promised you additional evidence of Russian use of the types of extremely effective submunitions (the kind that the US is currently planning to withdraw from US forces).
> 
> Below are photos of Russian MLRS and submunition carrier missiles from Illovosk (circa 20 Aug. 2014) — these were the weapons that destroyed the effectiveness of the 51st Bde and led to the unraveling of the entire southern Ukrainian front. Also attached below is the Gate’s (19.06.08) memo that effectively forces the removal of such weapons from US forces.
> 
> Within next ten days should also have physical examples of the sub-munitions as well as the latest (and most effective) Russian plates for their body armor.
> 
> You had asked about our relations with US mil attache in Kiev and I had told you that we had a good working relationship. But after their stunt last week, we will not be working with them anymore.
> 
> Lest you hear different, all of the visits and efforts by Gen. Clark and myself have been pro-bono, motivated solely to conduct as accurate an assessment as possible of Russian military actions against Ukraine, and provide constructive feedback on effectiveness of US efforts to assist Ukraine to American officials and the US Congress. We have no “hidden agenda.” I have now made 7 trips visiting UKE forces, including going behind the lines and under fire in the Donbass — not for thrills but because under current policy US personnel cannot get into the ATO area or acquire an independent perspective on what’s happening. Neither of us have received a penny of financial support from anyone (other than my Potomac foundation covering part of our travel) nor are we working for any defense contractor. If bureaucrats don’t appreciate or prefer to undermine our efforts that’s there business, but then we no interest or obligation in dealing with them.
