The production of Molotov cocktails follows calls from Ukraine‘s President Zelensky for civilians to engage Russian troops with guerilla warfare when they enter cities like Lviv and capital Kyiv.
Molotov cocktails are improvised incendiary bombs which were named by Finnish troops after Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov who had previously said bombing missions over Finland were actually food drops.
They involve breakable glass bottles filled with flammable liquid like petrol, covered with a cloth wick and then lit and thrown at the target.
On impact, the bottles shatter and result in a deadly fireball around the target.
