Both countries have reaffirmed their commitment to a UN agreement banning the armaments and spoken against employing them in the current conflict with Russia.

Supplying cluster bombs to Ukraine is wrong – NATO member
Spain categorically opposes the delivery of the weapons, Defense Minister Margarita Robles has said
Cluster munitions should not be used by Ukraine “under any circumstances,” Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles said on Saturday. Her comment came a day after the US announced that it would send the controversial ordnance to Ukraine, amid a shortage in conventional shells.
“Spain, based on the firm commitment it has with Ukraine, also has a firm commitment that certain weapons and bombs cannot be delivered under any circumstances,” Robles told reporters after a rally in Madrid. Spain says "no to cluster bombs and yes to the legitimate defense of Ukraine, which we understand should not be carried out with cluster bombs,” Robles added, according to Reuters.
Kiev’s Promise Not to Use Cluster Bombs Against Civilians is Meaningless: Here’s Why
Multiple US allies, human rights and anti-war groups, the UN and Moscow have condemned Washington’s decision to send howitzer-launched DPICM cluster bombs to Ukraine. Kiev have promised not to use the weapons against civilians, but Kiev’s record using the NATO weapons it has already speaks for itself, experts told Sputnik.
“The Ukrainian government has offered us assurances in writing on the responsible use of DPICMs, including that they will not use the rounds in civilian populated urban environments, and that they will record where they use these rounds, which will simplify later demining efforts,” under secretary of defense Colin Kahl said in a briefing Friday announcing the US decision to send cluster munitions to Kiev.
Scott Ritter: Cluster Munitions Will Change Nothing for Ukraine
The Biden administration has announced that it will be authorizing a new tranche of military support for Ukraine
Totaling around $800 million, it will also feature Bradley and Stryker fighting vehicles, air defense missiles, and anti-mine equipment—and hundreds of thousands of 155mm artillery dual-purpose improved conventional munition (DPICM) rounds, the M864.
The United States has, prior to the recent announcement, refused to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine for one simple reason—much of the world, including many of America’s NATO allies—views cluster munitions as representing an unacceptable risk to civilian life due to the high occurrence of “dud” munitions (i.e., munitions that fail to detonate on impact).

Cluster bombs + depleted uranium = genocide
The use of cluster bombs will be nothing compared to Russian, American, British, French and Ukrainian (when they get them) nukes.
See why the US had to deploy the "dial a yield" Trident D5 sub-launched missile, as well as the new "dial a yield" version of the B61 nuclear bomb.
