EU Diplomat: Russia Escalates Chemical Weapon Use in Ukraine
According to European diplomats, Russia is escalating its use of chemical weapons in Ukraine, aiming to inflict maximum suffering. Intelligence reports from Germany and the Netherlands indicate a growing trend, with over 9,000 instances of chemical weapon use since the invasion’s onset. The Dutch Defence Minister noted over 2,500 reported cases of chemical weapon-related symptoms in Ukraine, resulting in three deaths. The United States has also accused Russia of using chloropicrin, a banned choking agent, despite Russia’s commitment to the Chemical Weapons Convention.
