On Monday the Finnish President Sauli Niinisto has claimed that both the Ukrainian forces and Russia are using heavier weapons in Ukraine.
Niinisto added, “We are supporting Ukraine with increasingly heavy weaponry. And on the other hand Russia has also begun to use very powerful weapons, thermobaric bombs that are in fact weapons of mass destruction.”

“Effective artillery will be increasingly decisive in the largely static fighting in eastern Ukraine.”
Ukraine and NATO countries have previously accused Russia of using highly destructive thermobaric bombs.
