Moscow has hit back at efforts to accuse Russia of using chemical weapons in the
special military operation.Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, chief of the
Russian Armed Forces' Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense forces
explained that Germany, Ukraine, and the Organization for the Prohibition of
Chemical Weapons' (OPCW) Technical Secretariat are preparing a 'special
investigation' to incriminate Russia. He spoke at a briefing of the Russian
Ministry of Defense titled "Violations by Ukraine of Obligations under the
Chemical Weapons Convention.""According to available information, the US and
Germany, together with Ukraine and the OPCW Technical Secretariat, are preparing
to launch a special mission to investigate so-called instances of chemical
weapons use in Ukraine with the aim of accusing Russia," Kirillov said at the
briefing."One of the so-called 'independent' states is expected to initiate the
investigation and fabricate evidence that Russia used toxic chemicals during the
special military operation," added the chief of RCB defense.According to him,
the US has already allocated around $400,000 for these purposes.Kirillov also
recounted the evidence that Moscow has accumulated of Kiev's use of chemical
weapons, all of which is largely overlooked by Western governments.More than 400
instances of Ukraine using non-lethal toxic chemicals have been recorded during
the special military operation. "Most of them have been officially confirmed by
an accredited laboratory of the Russian Ministry of Defense," he continued.The
Ukrainian Armed Forces used chloropicrin mixed with chloroacetone in the areas
of Donetsk, Bogdanovka, Gorlovka, Kremennaya, and Artemovsk. Kirillov added that
Ukrainian forces regularly use chemical riot control agents: gas grenades
containing the American-made CS substance, Ukrainian-made hand grenades with
irritating chemical agents labeled Teren-6, and homemade chemical munitions.
According to him, Ukrainian prisoners of war said that "such means are supplied
to assault groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces."Likewise, Russian forces
discovered a laboratory near Avdeyevka that was clearly used to produce toxic
substances with general poisoning effects. According to him, the lab contained a
semi-industrial rotary evaporator, a filtration extraction system, chemical
reactors, carbon dioxide cylinders, as well as shelves with laboratory glassware
and reagents. In addition, personal respiratory protection equipment, including
American-made gas masks, and Polish-made skin protection suits were
found."Analysis of the contents of containers found in the lab showed the
presence of sulfuric acid and sodium cyanide, indicating the equipment was used
to produce toxic substances. Further, swabs were collected from the laboratory
equipment and the extraction system in accordance with OPCW requirements and
sent to the Russian Ministry of Defense's chemical-analytical laboratory for
in-depth analysis," Kirillov explained.According to him, research established
the presence of sodium cyanide, sulfuric acid, and trace amounts of cyanide
anions in the samples."The presence of these chemicals clearly indicates that
the laboratory was used to produce toxic substances with general poisoning
effects," Kirillov emphasized.The laboratory in Avdeyevka could produce at least
3 kilograms of toxic substances per day."It is operated by a staff of 2-3
people. Note that the lethal inhalation dose for this group of toxic substances
is very small, only 70-80 mg for a human," Kirillov said.He reminded that,
according to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), substances of this group,
including hydrogen cyanide, are listed in Schedule 3 of the CWC and their use is
prohibited by Article 1 of the Convention.In May 2024, the Ukrainian Armed
Forces dropped munitions on Semyonovka in the DPR, causing symptoms of hydrogen
cyanide poisoning among local residents. According to Kirillov, the use of toxic
chemicals, including hydrogen cyanide, by the Kiev regime is confirmed by
numerous witness testimonies — both civilians and Russian military personnel.In
early June, the Ukrainian Armed Forces also used a hydrogen cyanide munition in
the Graivoronovsky district of the Belgorod region.Kirillov noted that Ukraine
and the OPCW's Technical Secretariat have signed an agreement on privileges and
immunities for Kiev. He believes that this agreement will allow Ukraine to use
the OPCW "in its interests, bypassing existing procedures under the Convention,
imposing its false conclusions about chemical incident investigations on the
organization." Furthermore, the OPCW has received instructions from Western
curators to ignore Russia's statements about Ukraine's violations of the
chemical weapons convention.Kirillov highlighted that several publications have
expressed concern over Ukraine's creation of a "dirty bomb" using radiochemical
substances. The import of spent nuclear fuel and by-products of hazardous
chemical production continues into the country through Poland and Romania,
turning Ukraine into a "dumping ground" for highly dangerous waste. This process
is overseen by the head of the Ukrainian President's Office, Andriy Yermak, and
funded by the Soros Foundation, the Russian general noted.Despite Western
efforts, the global expert community has taken note of the information from the
Russian Ministry of Defense regarding violations by the US and Ukraine of their
non-proliferation obligations concerning weapons of mass destruction.According
to Kirillov, relevant comments were published in European and American media, as
well as on information portals in the Asia-Pacific region.

According to him, research established the presence of sodium cyanide, sulfuric

"The presence of these chemicals clearly indicates that the laboratory was used
to produce toxic substances with general poisoning effects," Kirillov
emphasized.

"The presence of similar chemical laboratories in Ukraine, like the one found in
Avdeyevka, is confirmed by testimonies of Ukrainian servicemen. Ukrainian
prisoner of war Sergey Batyr testified that American specialists were involved
in these laboratories and participated in the mass production of kamikaze
drones," he added.


The laboratory in Avdeyevka could produce at least 3 kilograms of toxic
substances per day.
"It is operated by a staff of 2-3 people. Note that the lethal inhalation dose

While the west want to bring Russia on its knees, which won't happen and while
Russia is hoping on the people in the west to vote their governments down over
their miserable and disgusting adventure in Ukraine, in financial and economical
costs and in human costs, but that won't happen neither, but in meantime Gaza is
bringing them down one by one, it already happens in the UK, the new government
declared to take the ICC serious again and taking distance from the, according
to International Law, unlawful actions preperated by the past government.
