Ukraine is receiving chemical weapons from the West - Moscow | 9 Oct 2024 | The collective West has been facilitating the supply of banned toxic chemicals to Kiev to be used as chemical weaponry on the frontlines, the Russian Embassy in the UK has said. The mission made the remarks on Tuesday, responding to a new round of sanctions imposed by London. The restrictions target Russia's Radiological Chemical and Biological Defense Forces (RChBZ) and its head, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, with the British government accusing Moscow of "flagrant violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)." The mission strongly rejected the accusations, pointing out that Moscow destroyed its chemical arsenal years ago, with the process overseen by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)... In reality, London's accusations were intended to divert attention from the numerous instances of use of chemical weapons by Kiev's forces during the conflict against Moscow, the embassy suggested.
