You don't think you can't put a cost on dead civillians?The ukrainian oligarchs are not worried about it. That doesn't mean that nobody is worried about it.
Also "cost"? it isn't about money, it is about dead civilians
Heck, american oligarchs are probably really jealous. they wish they could toss cluster bombs into the american countryside where those filthy conservative peasants live.
Every military option out there kills civillians one way or the other. Even refusing to fight and surrendering wholesale to the Russians kills civillians. The question is whether the risks of cluster mines will outweigh the benefits one way or the other. One cannot wage war if one is paralyzed because every possible option kills civillians.
I personally have no capacity to answer that question of whether the risks outweigh the benefits, and neither do you. And neither do you possess some unique insight into the thoughts of the Ukrainian people. With the information availble, I see no reason to deny the Ukrainian rulers, who represent with the consent of their governed, weapons which they need to defeat the enemy.
