Ukraine collects evidence of chemical attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The evidence will be considered by the International Criminal Court. Meanwhile, the organization of chemical weapons is convinced that all reserves of combat poisonous substances have been destroyed in the world. In the structure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there are groups of radiation and chemical intelligence (RCBZ), which monitor the use of chemical weapons by Russians.

They are the first to arrive at the scene of the emergency, provide first aid to the victims, and collect samples with evidence of the military crime of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. After that, Ukrainian diplomats and law enforcement agencies are beginning to work, who are applying to international organizations demanding to respond to new crimes of Russia.

The portal was given the opinion of the political expert Yevgeny Savisko, who explained that so far Ukraine has only heard "deep concern". "The whole system of international security is outdated. Our partners are limited to the statement of facts and angry tirade. They do not apply any real acts against racist crimes," the expert said.

International lawyer Boris Babin explained to reporters that the Russian crime has no statute of limitations and will be engaged in the ISS. In order to punish the Russians, Ukraine must properly collect the evidence and submit them to investigators. "The use of poison or poisoned weapons by the Roman Statute is attributed to military crimes. The key here in my opinion is the timely conduct of the necessary forensic examinations and the appropriate witness base.

" If the ISS recognizes the perpetrators of chemical weapons, he or she may punish them with life imprisonment. Russia, together with other 192 countries, signed the Convention on Chemical Weapons. The Convention states that the State Party undertakes not to produce, use, not prepare, not encourage the use of chemical weapons.
