Strongly worded retaliatory measures from the Kremlin are incoming!

No no, strong worded is a peculiarity of EU. Kremlin will send out the drunkard threatening to nuke all the places where the children of his comrades live.

Followed by aggressive finger wagging.

Yep, assuming they didn't placed it there or otherwise manipulated the image or source then that definitely looks like the little bomblets from within the missiles. Lucky for Ukraine that the US opposed the convention on cluster munitions. For Russia it's pretty damning because that means they can't easily hide their weapons & stockpiles, unless it is very far away from the front.
