File photo Image: Andrey Nekrasov/PA Images UKRAINE’S ARMY HAS accused Russia of carrying out strikes using incendiary phosphorus munitions on Snake Island today, just a day after Moscow withdrew its forces from the rocky outcrop in the Black Sea.

The Russian defence ministry yesterday described the retreat as “a gesture of goodwill” meant to demonstrate that Moscow will not interfere with UN efforts to organise protected grain exports from Ukraine.The Ukrainian army today accused the Russians of being unable to “respect even their own declarations”.

Phosphorus weapons, which leave a signature white trail in the sky, are incendiary weapons whose use against civilians is banned under an international convention but allowed for military targets.

That doesn’t make sense

There is nothing in their video that shows WP being used instead of conventional HE. What it does show though that even from 100 meters altitude, the hapless VKS couldn't hit a target if their life depended on it.

So the Snake Island is deserted...

Phosphorus bombs are legal in war, as long as not against civilian population, so this is purely legal. Unless Ukraine are saying civilians live there and Ukraine bombarded them with missiles and heavy weapons for the last few days? 🤔
