War in Ukraine: the Ukrainian army accuses the Russians of having fired phosphorus bombs

The day before, the Russian army had indicated that it had withdrawn from this symbolic territory “as a sign of goodwill“, after having “accompli” them “objectives set“.

He accompanied his message with a video on which we see a plane flying over Serpents’ Island and dropping at least two bombs which hit their target, leaving light white streaks appearing in the sky, a distinctive sign of the phosphorus bombs.

Phosphorus weapons are incendiary weapons whose use is prohibited against civilians, but not against military targets, under a Convention signed in 1980 in Geneva.
