Special forces “Akhmat”: the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked their own positions with phosphorus – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

“The lack of awareness of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is surprising; they used phosphorus on their own positions,” the message says.

Russian fighters also wondered who was sitting at the headquarters of the Ukrainian troops and offered to thank those who dealt this blow.

Phosphorus ammunition is an incendiary type and the substance it contains produces acrid smoke and causes severe burns.

The use of this type of ammunition against military targets in or near populated areas is prohibited by the 2006 Geneva Convention.

Previously, one of the fighters of the Russian reconnaissance brigade “Dnepr” said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces often use phosphorus to burn forests and detect positions of the Russian Armed Forces.
