EuroNews: “Experts warn that Russia could step up chemical attacks in Ukraine. The Kremlin says it does not have any intention to use chemical weapons.”
“On Sunday, Russia was accused of using phosphorus on the besieged city of Bakhmut with Ukraine releasing footage purporting to show it raining down on its positions.”
“Phosphorus creates flash-fires that’s hard to put out. If people are hit with the chemical they suffer horrendous burns which actually accelerate if they come into contact with water.”

Sanctions on Russia one year later.
EuroNews: “The EU is discussing plans to chase after those suspected of helping Russia evade international sanctions; but just how far does it go?”
“Brussels is now pointing the finger at people, companies and even entire countries suspected of helping Moscow evade the penalties by acting as transit destinations for EU-made products that are coincidentally under sanctions.”
EU has no jurisdiction to impose sanctions inside the Russian interior.
“What the EU bloc does is impose obligations on its own member states and companies over their interactions with Russia.”
