UKRAINE PRESENTS PROOF OF RUSSIAN CHEMICAL WARFARE TO INTERNATIONAL BODY

Ukraine’s OPCW representative details Russia’s violations of Chemical Weapons
Convention, presenting evidence of chemical weapons use against Ukrainian
forces.

Ukraine presents proof of Russian chemical warfare to international body

Ukraine has presented detailed evidence to the Organization for the Prohibition
of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) regarding Russia’s violations of the Chemical Weapons
Convention during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. Oleksandr Karasevych,
Ukraine’s permanent representative to the OPCW, provided this information during
the 106th session of the OPCW Executive Council, according to Ukrinform.

According to Karasevych, Ukraine has documented 3,201 cases of Russian forces
using ammunition containing dangerous chemical substances between 15 February
2023, and 24 June 2024. Of these, 639 cases were recorded in the month leading
up to 24 June 2024. The majority of these incidents involved K-51 and RG-VO gas
grenades, which accounted for 31% of the cases.

Ukrainian authorities reported 1,945 cases of military personnel seeking medical
attention for chemical-related injuries of varying severity. Karasevych also
noted fatalities due to acute poisoning by unknown chemical substances.

The use of riot control agents as a method of warfare, which constitutes 82% of
the recorded cases, is prohibited under Article 1 of the Chemical Weapons
Convention. These agents include CS gas, chlorpicrin, and chloroacetophenone.

Karasevych highlighted that Russian forces have been using these chemical
weapons against Ukraine’s National Guard along the entire front line, with a
particular concentration in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. In 2023, 113 cases were
recorded, while the first half of 2024 saw a significant increase to 978 cases.




The methods of deployment include hand grenades and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Since the beginning of the all-out war on 24 February 2022, 83 members of
Ukraine’s National Guard have sought medical assistance due to chemical exposure
in combat zones.



During the session, Karasevych emphasized the importance of countering Russian
disinformation campaigns against Ukraine on the OPCW platform. Many delegations
of OPCW Executive Council member countries expressed support for Ukraine’s
position.

In 2023, following a vote during the 28th session of the OPCW Conference of the
States Parties, Russia lost its seat on the OPCW Executive Council. Lithuania,
Poland, and Ukraine were awarded seats from the Eastern European Group.
