According to secret services, the Russian army uses the forbidden chemical chlorine Pikrin in Ukraine. With a high concentration, this can be fatal in closed rooms. There is evidence, said the head of the military secretary of the Netherlands, Peter Reesink.
The Russian military, for example, falls from drones to expel soldiers from their trenches. “The most important conclusion is that we can confirm that Russia intensifies the use of chemical weapons,” said the Dutch Minister of Defense Ruben Brekelmans. The German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) said about a “lung combat” and a “serious violation of chemical weapons”.
It was previously known that the Russian army used tear gas in Ukraine. Both the use of tear gas and the forbidden chemical chlorine Pikrin have become “standard practice”. The Russian government invests strongly in a chemical weapon program, the secret services are warned.
US has long accused Russia
The US government initiated Russia for the first time in May last year that he had used Chlor Pikrin. The opponent of the war states that the chemical weapons have been used a few thousand times. The spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday that a hiding place with explosive bodies in eastern Ukraine, which contained chlorine Pikrin, was discovered. Ukraine has always rejected such allegations.
The organization for the ban on chemical weapons (OPCW) based in the Hague had still stated in 2024 that the original allegations of both countries were “insufficiently justified” against each other. However, she did not conduct a full investigation. The Dutch Minister of Defense is sure that at least three dead in Ukraine are related to the use of chemical weapons. 2500 injured soldiers have reported symptoms in connection with chemical weapons on the Ukrainian health authorities.
This is how the remedy
Chlorpikrin is a forbidden sufficientness that can lead to severe skin, eyes and airways irritation. When it is swallowed, burns in the mouth and stomach, nausea and vomiting, breathing difficulties and shortness of breath are possible. The material was first used by the German army in the First World War. The International Chemical Office Convention, which prohibits development, storage and dedication, came into force in 1997. Both Russia and Ukraine are members.
