The Russian military continues to cynically violate the laws and customs of war by shelling civilian infrastructure and using inhumane weapons.

On March 21, they dropped banned phosphorus bombs on Kramatorsk (Donetsk region), said Oleksiy Biloshchitsky, deputy head of the Patrol Police Department..

" Prohibitions and conventions are for the civilized world,” he wrote on Facebook..

Phosphorus munitions are banned from use by the UN Convention on Inhumane Weapons. And not in vain.

The high combustion temperature of white phosphorus (800-1000 degrees) and the ability to ignite spontaneously when interacting with oxygen leads to severe burns. When burned, this substance also emits thick, poisonous smoke, which leads to burns of the respiratory tract and death..

Ignited phosphorus affects a large area, the fire is difficult to extinguish quickly, it burns out oxygen, which leads to suffocation.
