The occupiers began to use more chemical weapons against the Armed Forces on the front - isw

This is stated in the report for January 25, the US Institute of War Study (ISW). Thus, the Armed Forces General Staff reported that Russian troops began to use a RG-in with tear gas chloridetophaenon, which is used to combat mass riots. In December, 81 cases of use by Russian troops were recorded on the front.

On January 13, the Ukrainian General Staff of the Armed Forces reported that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to use a new type of special gas grenade containing CS gas (2-chlorobenzalmalononitril-also RCA). In the first 2 weeks of January 20224, such cases were counted 51. In the Russian Federation, they recognized that they deliberately use chemical weapons in Krynki in Kherson region, dumped from the drone K-51 with gas COP gas.

In the General Staff of the Armed Forces, they stated that the RG-it could kill personnel in the armor or closed room for five minutes and that the study showed that the recently used Pomegranate RG-in RF was made on an indefinite but probably Russian plant in 2023 year.

A spokesman for the Ukrainian Center for Trophy and Prospective Weapons and Military Technology Captain of the General Staff of Ukraine Andriy Rudyk stated that Russia may have been trying to evaluate the international reaction to the use of chemical weapons in Ukraine to expand the type of weapons used by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

"Russia is a participant in the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (CWC), which prohibits the use of RCA as a method of war," the Institute of War Study recalled. It should be reminded that the pomegranate of the RG-in, which was discovered on the front by Ukrainian specialists, were made in the Russian Federation in 2023. This proves that the Russian Federation lied to fulfill the obligations to the Convention on the ban on chemical weapons.
