Quote: "The most fierce battles continue in the area of the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas Canal.

In order to oust the Ukrainian military, the Russians are destroying the city with a Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system. TOS-1A heavy flamethrower systems, which use thermobaric warheads, have a significant ‘destructive effect’ due to the much more powerful damaging force and the explosive wave than conventional explosives of the same size."

Details: The soldiers further emphasised that because of the indiscriminate nature of this weapon’s operation, its employment near civilian settlements is prohibited by the Geneva Convention.

Subsequently, the Ukrainian Embassy in the United States called for preventing Russia from wiping Chasiv Yar off the map.
