Russia Foreign Ministry has accused Ukraine of using and planning to use chemical weapons in the ongoing conflict, claiming to have irrefutable evidence of these actions. Spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated on Tuesday that the Russian Federation has been monitoring and documenting instances of Ukrainian forces using chemical agents, riot control agents (RCAs), and other chemicals not listed in the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Zakharova further alleged that with Western support, Ukraine plans to stage a series of provocations to falsely accuse Russia of CWC violations during combat operations. She claimed that NATO countries are working to help Ukraine create a “body of evidence” to further accuse Russia of CWC violations. “Those responsible for these and other crimes against Russian citizens will be identified and face deserved and inevitable punishment,” Zakharova said.
