Happening now on the frontline near the eastern city of Avdiivka, Russian forces are using white phosphorus against Ukrainians. 📸 Photos from a Ukrainian lieutenant taken in real-time moments ago as we spoke. He described the situation as “madness.”

The Ukrainian lieutenant told me his positions are being pounded by Russian artillery 14 hours a day. As a result, 13 Ukrainian troops were wounded today alone, he said. “I don't know how much time we can hold on…” he said, asking that I show these pictures & say they need help.

1. Phosphorus is a chemical, so this could be construed as chemical warfare. It works with body

fat to create severe burns, so to me it has some biological aspect to
It, too. It's not declared illegal, but shouldn't be used where there are people on the receiving end.

3. A claim that these are thermite incendiary submunitions which are worse
