Srikandi גבורה - Penduduk
Slavyansk dan di pinggir bandar telah terjaga semalaman pada hari Khamis dengan
apa yang mereka katakan adalah bom pembakar yang telah digugurkan di bandar
mereka oleh tentera Kiev. Saksi-saksi dan laporan media tempatan cadangkan
bahawa bom mungkin fosforus.
Banyak
perkampungan Semyonovka, yang terletak di pinggir bandar Slavyansk, telah terbakar.
Penduduk tempatan memberitahu RT bahawa tanah itu tidak henti –henti membakar
untuk beberapa ketika.
"Kami
semua melihat apa yang berlaku di sini semalam. Mereka menggunakan pelancar
roket serta bom pembakar terhadap kami. Tanah itu terbakar. Bagaimana tanah
boleh membakar dengan sendirinya. Ia dibakar selama kira-kira 40 minit,
"pemastautin Roman Litvinov memberitahu RT melalui telefon.
"Bermula
dari 02:00 semua orang yang saya telah bertemui dengan mempunyai sakit tekak
dan batuk sepanjang masa. Saya rasa ini adalah kerana terbakar. Saya fikir kita
akan merasai kesan sebenar kemudiannya. Masih terdapat ramai orang di sini,
banyak anak-anak kita tidak berjaya keluar lagi, "pemastautin Tatyana
memberitahu RT.
Penggunaan
bom pembakar - direka untuk memulakan api dengan menggunakan bahan-bahan
seperti napalm, fosforus putih atau bahan kimia berbahaya yang lain - adalah
dilarang oleh PBB.
'White
phosphorus' reports: Ukraine military 'dropped incendiary bombs' on Slavyansk
(VIDEO) . . .
Residents
of Slavyansk and its suburbs were awoken overnight on Thursday by what they say
were incendiary bombs that were dropped on their city by Kiev’s military.
Witnesses and local media reports suggested that the bombs might be
phosphorous.
Much
of the village of Semyonovka, located in the Slavyansk suburbs, was set ablaze.
Local residents told RT that the ground didn't stop burning for some time.
“We
all saw what happened here yesterday. They used rocket launchers as well as
incendiary bombs against us. The ground was on fire. How can the ground burn by
itself. It burned for about forty minutes,” resident Roman Litvinov told RT
over the phone.
“Starting
from 2 a.m. everyone I’ve met has a sore throat and is coughing all the time. I
think this is because of the burning. I think we’ll feel the true consequences
later. There are still a lot of people here, a lot of children we haven’t
managed to get out yet,” resident Tatyana told RT.
The
use of incendiary bombs – designed to start fires using materials such as
napalm, white phosphorus or other dangerous chemicals – is strictly prohibited
by the UN.
Pihak
berkuasa Kiev telah menafikan laporan bahawa senjata tersebut telah digunakan
terhadap orang awam. Pengawal Kebangsaan juga menafikan laporan bahawa peluru
fosforus telah digunakan, perkhidmatan akhbar yang menyatakan.
Slavyansk,
bandar perindustrian di tenggara Ukraine dengan penduduk lebih 100,000 orang,
telah menjadi titik tumpuan tindakan keras kerajaan terhadap rantau ini.
Kawasan perumahan di bandar ini biasa tlh berada di bawah tembakan meriam selama
beberapa minggu.
"Ia
kelihatan bahawa terdapat sekurang-kurangnya satu kes yang akan berhujah bahawa
sesuatu yang serupa, jika tidak fosforus putih, telah digunakan dalam sekelip
mata. Saya lihat video ini, saya telah melihat dengan teliti . . . [terdapat]
tanda-tanda keseluruhan, tanda keseluruhan penggunaan fosforus putih.
Sebagai
contoh, pembakaran cahaya yang sangat terang dan pelbagai terbakar yang turun
dari langit. Ia merupakan satu senjata airburst yang telah digunakan, seperti
mortar atau dikendalikan pesawat, "Charles Shoebridge, seorang pegawai
bekas tentera, Scotland Yard detektif, dan memerangi keganasan pegawai
perisikan yang baru-baru ini telah kembali dari Ukraine, memberitahu RT.
"Fosforus
putih tidak boleh memadamkan dengan penggunaan air" dan ia akan
"membakar melalui badan seseorang sehingga ke tulang," tambah
Shoebridge. "Jika ada menjadi jumlah yang besar digunakan ia juga boleh
menjadi racun - banyak boleh ditetapkan untuk mencemarkan bekalan air."
Menurut
video, "ia kemungkinan besar bahawa fosforus putih" telah digunakan, tambah
Shoebridge. "Ia amat sukar utk mereka-reka video yg kita lihat digabungkan
dengan bukti di atas tanah."
Moscow
menuntut siasatan segera ke dalam penggunaan yang dilaporkan bom pembakar di
Ukraine, Menteri Luar Rusia Sergey Lavrov berkata pada hari Khamis.
"Kita
bimbang untuk mendengar laporan bahawa tentera Ukraine menggunakan bom pembakar
dan beberapa senjata sembarangan lain," katanya. "Laporan-laporan ini
perlu penyiasat ke dalam serta-merta."
Pada
hari Khamis, Rusia memperkenalkan draf resolusi kepada Majlis Keselamatan PBB
yang mengutuk serangan ke atas rumah kediaman dan kemudahan awam di tenggara
Ukraine, kata Vitaly Churkin, duta Rusia ke PBB.
Beliau
juga menyuarakan kebimbangan mengenai laporan daripada penggunaan peluru yang dilarang,
termasuk bom pembakar, semasa tindakan keras tentera.
Resolusi
draf panggilan untuk menamatkan segera kepada semua keganasan dan gencatan
senjata yang berkekalan.
"Resolusi
draf akan bertujuan untuk menghentikan keganasan dan menyokong usaha-usaha
politik OSCE telah menjalankan sia-sia setakat ini. Kami menggesa Setiausaha
Agung PBB untuk menyokong mereka," kata Churkin, sambil menambah bahawa
penerimaannya akan menunjukkan sokongan UNSC bagi usaha-usaha penyelesaian
krisis.
Kiev
authorities have denied reports that such weapons were used against civilians.
The National Guard also refuted reports that phosphorous ammunition was used,
its press service stated.
Slavyansk,
an industrial city in southeastern Ukraine with a population of over 100,000
people, has been a focal point of the government’s crackdown against the
region. The city’s residential area has been under regular artillery fire for
weeks.
“It
does appear that there is at least a case to be argued that something similar,
if not itself white phosphorous, was used overnight. I’ve seen the video, I’ve
looked at it closely . . . [there are] whole signs, whole marks of white
phosphorous use.
For example, a very bright light burning and multiple burns
coming down from the sky. It’s an airburst weapon that has been used, such as a
mortar or a manned aircraft,” Charles Shoebridge, a former army officer,
Scotland Yard detective, and counter-terrorism intelligence officer who has
recently returned from Ukraine, told RT.
“White
phosphorous cannot be put out with the use of water” and it will “burn through
one’s body to the bone,” Shoebridge added. “If there is going to be large
amounts used it can also be a poison – large amounts can be set to contaminate
water supply.”
According
to the video, “it’s very likely that white phosphorus" was used,
Shoebridge added. “It’s very difficult to fabricate the video we saw combined
with the evidence on the ground.”
Moscow
demanded an immediate investigation into the reported use of incendiary bombs
in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday.
"We
are concerned to hear reports that the Ukrainian military forces use incendiary
bombs and some other indiscriminate weapons," he said. "These reports
should be probed into immediately."
On
Thursday, Russia introduced a draft resolution to the UN Security Council that
condemns attacks on residential quarters and civilian facilities in
southeastern Ukraine, said Vitaly Churkin, Russian envoy to the UN.
He
also voiced concern over reports of the use of prohibited ammunition, including
incendiary bombs, during the military crackdown.
The
draft resolution calls for an immediate end to all violence and for a lasting
ceasefire.
"The
draft resolution will aim to stop the violence and support the political
efforts the OSCE has been undertaking in vain so far. We urge the UN
Secretary-General to support them," Churkin said, adding that its adoption
would demonstrate the UNSC’s support for the crisis settlement efforts.
