Putin allegedly launches banned “vacuum bomb” against Ukraine

Vladimir Putin has been accused of using devastating vacuum bombs and cluster munitions during Russia’s invasion in the Ukranian city of Kharkiv.

Thermobaric explosives, also known as aerosol or fuel air bombs, use oxygen from the surrounding air to generate a high-temperature blast that typically produces a wave of a significantly longer duration than that of a conventional device.

The first stage of a thermobaric bomb blast distributes an aerosol made up of carbon-based fuel and tiny metal particles. A second charge then sparks a fireball and a vacuum as it sucks oxygen from the air, the outlet reported.

The devastating blast wave is capable of vaporizing people.

Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Oksana Markarova spoke against Russian aggression after speaking to members of the US Congress.

“They used the vacuum bomb today, which is actually prohibited by the Geneva convention,” she said.

“The devastation that Russia is trying to inflict on Ukraine is large.”

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has intensified as there have been accusations of lies, genocide, and comparisons to World War II.
