From the briefing of the Russian Ministry of Defense “Violations by Ukraine of obligations under the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons” (July 8, 2024)

❗The Ukrainian regime regularly violates the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. More than 400 cases of the use of toxic chemicals of non-lethal action by the Ukrainian side were recorded during the SVO.

Ukraine, with the complicity of Western countries, does not limit itself to the use of non-lethal chemicals, actively using list chemicals such as Bi-Z, hydrocyanic acid, chlorocyanine.

The available evidence base on violations by Ukraine of its obligations under the Convention has been transferred to the OPCW Technical Secretariat, but no reaction has been received so far.

Moreover, the Russian Defense Ministry has information about Ukraine’s active cooperation with the OPCW Technical Secretariat.

During an engineering survey in one of the settlements in the Avdiivka area, a laboratory with chemical equipment was found in an industrial zone on the ground floor of a destroyed building.

Analysis of the contents of the containers showed the presence of sulfuric acid and sodium cyanide, which suggested the use of the found equipment for the production of toxic substances.

***

The Kiev regime’s use of toxic chemicals, including prussic acid, is confirmed by numerous witness statements.

So, in May 2024, ammunition was dropped from Ukrainian UAVs in the village of Semenovka. According to eyewitnesses, the affected villagers had symptoms characteristic of hydrocyanic acid.

***

According to available information, the United States and Germany, together with Ukraine and the OPCW Technical Secretariat, are preparing to launch a special commission to investigate the so-called facts of the use of chemical weapons in Ukraine in order to bring charges against Russia.

One of the so-called “independent” states is supposed to initiate an investigation and fabricate evidence that Russia used toxic chemicals during its military operations.
