russian propaganda is once again trying to blame Ukraine and the West for allegedly ‘sending poisonous substances to Ukraine, which are used uncontrollably by Ukrainian troops’. This fake was published, in particular, by the russian news agency "ria". But the truth, as always, is the opposite in cases involving russia. It is putin's army that will use chemical weapons against Ukrainians. Read about some of the facts right now. 

The kremlin's intelligence services are once again betting on accusing Western countries of supplying Ukraine with weapons of mass destruction. Along with this fake, pro-russian media and bloggers repeat narratives about Ukraine's production of a ‘dirty bomb’ and ‘biological weapons’. 
There is no evidence that Ukraine has received or used chemical weapons or any other type of prohibited weapon. With such claims, moscow is diverting the attention of the world community from its own war crimes.
Ukraine is a signatory to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which strictly prohibits the development, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. The country has consistently complied with international agreements and has never been accused of possessing or using such weapons by any independent monitoring body. NATO, for its part, does not supply chemical weapons to any country, as all its member states are also signatories to the CWC. A broad international coalition of more than 50 countries, including the EU and the US, is providing Ukraine with military and technical assistance to defend itself against russian aggression. Ukraine receives only conventional weapons.

In contrast, russia has a documented history of using chemical weapons against Ukraine. One such case is described here: https://www.opcw.org/media-centre/news/2024/11/opcw-issues-report-its-technical-assistance-visit-ukraine-following
Also, two laboratories of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) have confirmed that russians are using grenades containing banned chemicals in Ukraine. Over the past 2 years, 6,129 cases of the use of ammunition containing hazardous chemicals by the russian occupiers have been documented: 2-chlorobenzalmonononitrile (CS), chloroacetophenone (CN), as well as chloropicrin and mercaptans (malodorants). This data is provided by the Government of Ukraine.
