'White Phosphorous' bombs: Kyiv accuses Moscow of using them again | Explainer | Oneindia News
Reports have claimed that yesterday Russia used deadly Phosphorus bombs in the fighting near Bakhmut.
Several reports claimed that the explosions in the war yesterday had released small, burning balls of white phosphorus that slowly fell to the groundā¦ and those balls set fire to the vegetation on both sides of the road on a surface equivalent to the size of a football pitch.
This isnāt the first time that Russia has allegedly used white phosphorous munitions in the war in Ukraine.
Earlier in March last year, Ukraine had claimed that Moscow had used white phosphorus against civilians in his country.
Then again in May 2022, Russian forces had reportedly used this kind of weaponry in their efforts to capture the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol.
In this video, we take a quick look at these lethal Phosphorus bombs.

The Kremlin has confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not extended the Easter ceasefire with Ukraine, which was set to end at midnight on April 21. Despite Putin's initial announcement for a 30-hour truce, both Russia and Ukraine accused each other of multiple violations during the pause. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov clarified that no additional orders were given to prolong the ceasefire. Ukrainian President Zelensky indicated willingness to extend the truce if Moscow adhered to the terms, but both sides reported hundreds of attacks during the declared pause in hostilities.

Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire: Russiaās sudden announcement of a 30-hour Easter ceasefire has been met with outrage and deep suspicion in Ukraine. Citizens across Kyiv and other cities have rejected the so-called truce, calling it a deceptive move by the Kremlin to regroup and reload. Many Ukrainians label the ceasefire a propaganda stunt, insisting that āterrorists cannot be trustedā and warning that such pauses often precede intensified attacks. As missiles continue to fall in some regions, trust in Moscowās intentions is nonexistent, and fears of a post-ceasefire assault loom large.

What was meant to be a 30-hour Easter ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine quickly descended into chaos, as both sides exchanged fire and accusations. Within hours of Russian President Vladimir Putin announcing a āhumanitarianā truce, Ukrainian strikes reportedly hit Donetsk and Lugansk, triggering fires and damage. Kyiv, meanwhile, accused Moscow of using the ceasefire as a smokescreen while continuing drone and artillery attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed Russia carried out nearly 400 assaults overnight, but questions are now being raised: Did Zelensky fall into a trap? Who really broke the truce first?
