An official report published by intelligence services of two European countries reveals large-scale violations of international conventions by Russian military formations. Experts definitively established illegal use of chemical agents during military operations in Ukraine.
According to the presented data, the Russian army consistently attacked Ukrainian positions with toxic substances, including the especially dangerous chloropicrin - a chemical weapon with extremely destructive impact, known since World War I. The use of such battle toxic substances directly violates international agreements that Moscow officially ratified in 1997.
Ukrainian military leadership reports an extremely alarming statistic - nearly 9,000 documented cases of chemical attacks, in which at least three servicemen have died, and over 2,500 have been injured. The strategy of Russian units includes using chemical agents to forcibly push enemy troops from their defensive positions.
Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans described Russia's actions as "absolutely unacceptable" and insisted on immediate international sanctions. The diplomatic response includes recommendations for complete isolation of Moscow and increased military support for Ukraine.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, the Ukrainian side has repeatedly signaled chemical attacks, with the first indications registered in occupied Mariupol. The Russian side consistently denies all accusations, paradoxically directing counter-accusations towards Ukraine without any evidence.
This report represents an unprecedented documented testimony of systematic war crimes that require immediate international reaction and investigation.
