Ukraine's allies fear Russia's use of more deadly chemical weapons<\/h2>\n

Ukraine's allies express Concerns about Russia's possible use of more lethal chemical weapons<\/strong> against the backdrop of a protracted war and the lack of effective deterrents. This is reported by the The Times<\/strong><\/em> with reference to Western and Ukrainian sources.<\/p>\n

What we know now<\/h3>\n

According to the Ukrainian side, Russian troops have already used banned chemicals thousands of times<\/strong> on the battlefield. According to the military, such actions were used predominantly:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    for defeat of the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine<\/strong>;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    in order to force the Ukrainian military to leave their hideouts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What substances were recorded<\/h3>\n

    Reported use of the product suppression gases<\/strong>, In particular:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      CS and CN<\/strong>;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      chloropicrin<\/strong> - an asphyxiant known since the First World War.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The use of these agents contradicts international norms and prohibitions on the conduct of war.<\/p>\n

      Risk of escalation<\/h3>\n

      The protracted nature of the war<\/strong> and Lack of a strong response from the international community<\/strong> could push the Kremlin to use of even more dangerous chemical warfare agents<\/strong>. This scenario is now seen as one of the key risks to the security of Ukraine and Europe.<\/p>\n

      Context.<\/h3>\n

      The use of chemical weapons is prohibited Chemical Weapons Convention<\/strong>, to which Russia is a member. Ukraine has repeatedly called on its partners Increase sanctions and political and diplomatic pressure<\/strong> on Moscow in response to such actions and ensure effective deterrence mechanisms.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
