Is that white phosphorous? If so and it's being used as a weapon that'd considered a war crime.

Yeah, like Russia cares. "War crimes" are for the weaker side to not lose global support. All wars involve war crimes on huge scale.

The way I see it: it is either mostly ineffective (against infrastructure) or a war crime if used again against people (civilians or combatants).
