Ukraine Raises Concerns Over Russian Use of Chemical Weapons

kiev - Ukraine is alarmed by the increasing use of chemical weapons by Russia on the battlefield, lacking the necessary detectors to provide evidence.

Ukraine has witnessed a surge in incidents involving the use of chemical weapons by Russia on the battlefield, with the Detection, Chemical, and Biological Protection Command of the Ukrainian armed forces recording 715 such incidents in May alone. Since then, the number of monthly incidents, as reported by Colonel Artem Vlasiuk to Kyiv Independent, has remained in the hundreds.

Colonel Vlasiuk is unable to determine the exact types of chemical weapons used by Russia due to the lack of sophisticated equipment necessary for identification. The absence of proper detectors hinders Ukraine's ability to provide international evidence, posing risks to their troops and the country as a whole.

Although the West acknowledges the dangers, detectors are not currently a top priority in Western aid packages for Ukraine, with ammunition and equipment taking precedence. Kiev continues to raise concerns about chemical weapons in discussions with Western allies, albeit with limited success.

The chemical weapons identified by Ukraine so far include various types of tear gas, ammonia, and chloropicrin, all prohibited under the Chemical Weapons Convention. Despite Russia being a signatory to the treaty, Ukraine accuses them of violating its terms.

The methods of deploying these chemical weapons are clear, involving dropping gas grenades into trenches or bunkers using drones, forcing Ukrainian soldiers to flee due to exposure. This leaves them vulnerable to Russian attacks, resulting in casualties and injuries among Ukrainian military personnel.

Proper care for soldiers exposed to these chemicals underscores the necessity for Ukraine to acquire identification equipment from the West. Only with accurate identification can medical personnel provide effective treatment for soldiers affected by chemical agents.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has refrained from commenting on the alleged Russian use of chemical weapons, citing insufficient evidence provided by Ukraine. The OPCW notes conflicting accusations between Russia and Ukraine without substantial verification.
