Finnish President Sauli Niinistö on Monday accused Russia of using weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine and warned of a “vertical escalation” of the conflict as the two sides increasingly use weapons.
“Russia began to use very powerful weapons, thermobaric bombs, which are actually weapons of mass destruction,” Niinistö said. Said.
Ukrainian authorities have released videos of alleged Russian attacks with thermobaric bombs, whose supersonic blast wave could destroy anything in its path.
Amnesty International also today condemned the use of weapons banned by Russia, such as cluster munitions, which could have killed hundreds of civilians in Kharkov, Ukraine.
Niinistö admitted that Western countries that support Ukraine are also increasingly supplying heavy weapons to stop the advance of Russian troops.
“The irrationality of the situation is reflected in the fact that both peace and a ceasefire agreement are seen as a risk, a chance for rearmament. What can be done then?” asked the Finnish president.
