For nearly two nights April 13th Battalion "Crimea" was a "fiery hell." Vengeful militants hurled White phosphorus, which the international community prohibit for use during the war, as causing the most severe injuries.
"Separatist decided to avenge their failed attack by day and obviously a lot of dead on their side. Separatists shoot White phosphorus, burning all around, even brick walls of houses. Already hundreds of unexploded shells of napalm in the air and continue to burst," said in an official media page of the battalion "Crimea."
Soldiers of the battalion did not give up and survived a brutal attack. Their motivation is to protect native land.
"We did not burn out, it's impossible. This is our land, and we will survive here, as have survived all these months. We can win the war, liberate Crimea!"- said in a statement.
For information: phosphorus munitions are dangerous because they will burn until access of oxygen is terminated or until the whole phosphorus is will burnt out. Even the smoke that is released is dangerous when burning because it burns the lungs. With falling projectile, it affects everything for around 150 meters.
"Such weapons can cause particularly severe and painful disfigurement or provoke a slow and torturous death. When used against military targets located within or in the vicinity of populated areas, weapons containing white phosphorous, according to international agreements (Protocol III of the Convention on specific types of conventional hbroï), is banned for use,-says Wikipedia.
Recall that in February, the press service of TUs reported that unknown gunmen started to use ammunition that are assumed military, containing white phosphorus that is particularly dangerous.
Rules tend to go out the window in any civil war.
Willy Peter is nasty stuff.
In before the Pimping for Putin arguments.
By gum, they fight like ‘mericans! Who’d a thunk it?
That is a sad and very bitter reality. Civil wars are the most vicious and the hardest to quell.
As column of vehicles with the bodies of the fallen Ukrainian Soldiers are brought home Ukrainians fall on their knees in honor and respect of their sacrifice. (Kolomiya, Ukraine. Spring 2015) 
Ukraine asks for the international peacekeeping troops from the UN and the EU. So far there is no response. Meanwhile Russian terrorists continue shooting at Ukrainian positions, Russia continues to support them with heavy military equipment and more fighters. Ceasefire of Minsk 2 should be observed. Are the lives of Ukrainians less important than other nations?

WP is nasty stuff but so is Putin.
“it is not a civil war in Ukraine.”
Again with the Orwellian Language Control bovine excrement?
The International Red Cross calls it a Civil War.
Amnesty calls it a civil war.
The whole frikken planet calls it a Civil War, except the Ukie brownshirts and Obamunist media.
The Orwellian Newspeak spin is due to the IMF money.
It can’t be used to finance a civil war, or by a coup government, hence the Groupthink requirement of calling it an “Antiterrorist Operation”, and denying that the coup wasn’t “Really” a coup.
I have no doubt where this bs propaganda came from, the Obama White Hut. The same people that brought us the Orwellian spin of the “Humanitarian Bombing” of Libya.
—In before the screams of “PUTINISTA!” for daring to note the facts.
tcrlaf this is not a game....... shame on you for bearing false witness
