I'm of the opinion that it's ok. If Ukraine is using them, it's to defeat an attacking army, and it's not even close to being the same as the Russian use of them.

Under the Convention on Cluster Munitions their use in any situation or circumstance is considered a crime. One of the things with cluster munitions is that even if you use them against military targets, they also tend to leave unexploded munitions behind even after the soldiers leave.
Russia, and the Ukraine aren't signatories to the Convention, so they're not held to it though.
