Ukraine Mulling Using 'Dirty Bomb,' False-Flag Chemical Provocations with US Help - Russian MoD

Part 2

Ukraine, which regularly violates the Chemical Weapons Convention, is gearing up to stage provocations using toxic chemicals, Russia’s MoD warned. It presented evidence that:


▪️ Ukraine has procured hundreds of tons of toxic chemical precursors that are scheduled by the convention.

▪️ Ukrainian company Reagent imported more than 160 tons of triethanolamine in July 2024.

▪️ Over 400 cases of toxic chemical use by the Ukrainian side have been recorded during the special military operation, featuring compounds such as BZ, prussic acid, chlorine cyanide, and riot-control chemical agents.

▪️ Tests of wipe-samples from chemical equipment found in a lab near Avdeyevka in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) revealed the presence of sodium cyanide, sulphuric acid, and trace amounts of cyanide anion. The lab had been producing 3 kg of toxic substances per day, according to an analysis.

▪️ Shipments of chemical waste and spent nuclear fuel are entering Ukraine through Poland and Romania. Such materials can be used to make a dirty bomb and stage “false flag” chemical provocations.

▪️ Ukraine’s 3rd Airmobile Battalion received chemical irritant ammunition on July 13, 2024, per MoD evidence.

▪️ Ready-to-use agents containing a toxic mixture based on thallium nitrate as well as irritant agents listed in Schedule 3 of the CWC were found in a cache seized from Ukraine’s troops in August 2024.

▪️ Ukrainian forces are being trained to use chemical ammunition with Western artillery systems, captured manuals show.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis:

◻️ Russia will not take the bait of the ‘peace summit’ with Ukraine in an unnamed country of the Global South if it follows the same logic as the previous one in Switzerland, to which Russia was not invited.

◻️ If the West is interested in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, then it needs to sit down at the negotiating table.
