They have, at the front. Fixed wing and gunships attack frontlines and columns from beyond the target's counterfire range. Thats one of the three big problems Kyiv has: loitering munitions, very modern mines, and that the balance in the air war has shifted in Russia's favour. Russia even has begun, since longer already, to re-mine the small passages the Ukrainians had de-mined (via artillery-delivered mines).


If the text I linked toa couple of posts above is right, then they even mine the areas behind the assumed mine belts. The mine the whole damn place, not just obstacles and belts.



Cluster amuntions will not help Ukrianians to advance either, they cnanot use them to bomb areas they plan toa dvance thorugh, due to the duds. They indeed cna onyl use the couster ammunitions to interdict Russian C3I and logstics, and fortifications they do not plan to approach nearby. I think the media paint a wrong picture there.
