Warnings about this type of weapon and concerns about its impact on civilians have kept Biden from moving.

Pentagon officials have recommended that President Joe Biden’s administration provide Ukraine with white phosphorus munitions for use on the battlefield. However, the White House rejected this idea several times. NBC News reported this on Wednesday, September 25, citing three American officials.

The Pentagon has recommended providing white phosphorus shells to Ukraine as part of several aid packages, including recent ones. According to officials, if this decision is approved, it will not be announced publicly.

The publication’s sources explained that the stigma of white phosphorus and fears that it could affect civilians kept Biden administration officials from approving the recommendation.

The publication added that the United States now uses white phosphorus in artillery shells to create smoke and camouflage troop movements, as well as to illuminate the battlefield. And the Pentagon recommends supplying Ukraine with artillery shells with white phosphorus for this purpose, and not for use against enemy troops.

We remind you that the Russian invaders have been using phosphorus bombs since the beginning of the mass invasion of Ukraine.
