The FSB announced the use of banned toxic substances by the Ukrainian Armed Forces

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) use prohibited toxic substances. TASS reports this with reference to the press service of the regional FSB department.

According to the FSB, among the chemical agents used by the Ukrainian military during the clashes is chloropicrin, which was used as a toxic agent during the First World War. Its use for military purposes is currently prohibited by the Chemical Weapons Convention.

In the territories from which the Ukrainian Armed Forces were driven out, corresponding caches are found, including flasks with toxic substances.
