Fake about alleged “use of banned phosphorus munitions by the AFU”
Claims about the alleged “use of banned phosphorus munitions by the Armed Forces of Ukraine” are fake.
Pro-russian sources are spreading a video featuring a russian soldier who, without any evidence, claims that Ukrainian troops allegedly “use phosphorus shells.”
This fake aims to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Such videos are part of russian information and psychological operations — they lack any proof, relying solely on emotional storytelling.
Ukraine strictly adheres to international humanitarian law and does not use prohibited weapons. In contrast, russia has repeatedly used phosphorus munitions against civilians, particularly in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions.
Earlier, the Center had already debunked a fake about the alleged “use of chemical weapons by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
