Russia constantly violates Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons - Reznikov

Russian troops have been constantly violating the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons during their full-scale aggression against Ukraine.

According to Ukrinform, Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said this on Twitter.

"Russia constantly violates the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. Occupiers have been using extremely dangerous thermobaric munitions to attack residential areas on the South, East & North of Ukraine," he wrote.

Reznikov added that Russian troops are doing this despite the fact that Moscow is a signatory of this Convention.

The United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, concluded at Geneva on October 10, 1980, and entered into force in December 1983, seeks to prohibit or restrict the use of certain conventional weapons which are considered excessively injurious or whose effects are indiscriminate.

The convention covers land mines, booby traps, incendiary devices, blinding laser weapons and clearance of explosive remnants of war.
