russian propaganda is spreading disinformation about the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Ukrainian Forces
As evidence, a video is shown that supposedly demonstrates the discovery of a Ukrainian “cache with plastic explosives and the poisonous substance chloropicrin.” However, this video provides no real evidence. It is impossible to determine the actual contents of the jars shown or to confirm that these jars belong to the Ukrainian military.
The spread of fake claims about the alleged use of banned chemical munitions by Ukrainian forces is a typical tactic of russian propaganda aimed at discrediting the Ukrainian Defense Forces. However, each wave of such reports from russia lacks any real evidence.
Meanwhile, international organizations and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have previously recorded multiple instances of the use of the banned chloropicrin by russian forces against Ukraine’s defenders.
