Russia Accused Of Using Phosphorus Bombs In Bakhmut

 

BBC: Ukraine war: Russia accused of using phosphorus bombs in Bakhmut 

Ukraine has accused Russia of attacking the besieged city of Bakhmut with phosphorus munitions. 

In drone footage released by Ukraine's military, Bakhmut can be seen ablaze as what appears to be white phosphorus rains down on the city. 

White phosphorus weapons are not banned, but their use in civilian areas is considered a war crime. 

They create fast-spreading fires that are very difficult to put out. Russia has been accused of using them before. 

Russia has been trying to capture Bakhmut for months, despite its questionable strategic value. Western officials have estimated that thousands of Moscow's troops have died in the assault. 

Writing on Twitter, Ukraine's defence ministry said the attack had targeted "unoccupied areas of Bakhmut with incendiary ammunition".

We used them in Afghanistan folks, quit crying like little girls. Maybe Zelensky and co should have sat down with Putin and figured something out rather than declaring no negotiations permitted and taking orders from the United States. Funny how that little factoid always manages to escape the minds of the Ukrainian cheerleaders on this board. Idiots
