Ukraine claims Russia used an illegal vacuum bomb during invasion: 'Potentially a war crime'
2022-03-01
[FoxNews] The White House is awaiting confirmation from international investigative parties before it takes action.
And rightfully so.
The International Criminal Court has started investigating Russia over potential war crimes the country may have committed during its invasion of Ukraine, after a Ukrainian official claimed that Russia used an illegal weapon during the war, officials said.

On Monday, Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, told reporters at the U.S. Capitol that during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the former country used a vacuum bomb, in violation of international law, Reuters reported.

A vacuum bomb is a thermobaric weapon that is typically more devastating than traditional bombs as it absorbs the oxygen in a given space to cause a significant blast capable of vaporizing humans, Reuters reported.

#5  The Russians, when they were called Soviets, endlessly pushed the lie that the Ma Deuce was illegal to use against troops, so I count this as turn-about.

Serious question: on what planet are Fuel-Air Explosives illegal?

#1  I guess "vacuum bomb" is more ominous than "thermobaric weapon"
