After so many commited warcrimes, one more doesn’t seem to be an issue for Russia. Every day they find a way to be even worse than before.
As a soldier myself, it pains me to say this but:
I think we’re going to have to accept that chemical weapons are just going to be a normal part of the next great conflict.
Ukraine is going to have to gather meticulous evidence of these incidents, because there is going to be serious denial and push back from governments that have previously claimed serious consequences for their use. Politicians that talk a big game, hate it when they’re expected to follow up.
Furthermore, ruzzia delenda est.
Don’t want to downplay anything:
But why is it so much worse to be poisoned compared to being shred by shrapnel? Like the stuff we are watching all the times when grenades are dropped into groups of soldiers.
IMHO both is an absolutely horrible way to die.
In Ukraine gas blows towards Russia.
I hope one goes off in Putin’s office
Just when u think they can’t get any more miserable than they are, well they find a new way
Looks like they’re testing the waters.
Russian do the German.
Are they breaking out the WW1 weapons now?
Amnesty international will be all over this one
ah so chemical weapons?
add that to the warcrimes pile i guess…
It’s a Ukrainian source.
> Quote from Rudyk: “Thus, in 2017, Russia lied about fulfilling its commitments under the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention, which required the destruction of both the weapons themselves and the production facilities where they were manufactured.”
He seems to be misinformed. CN gas (chloroacetophenone) is in a list of riot control agents, not chemical weapons, and as such it is not prohibited to store or manufacture under CWC (Chemical Weapons Convention).
Question:
*What do you do when a Russian soldier throws a chemical grenade at you?*
Answer:
*They’re Russian. Just pick it up, pull out the pin, and throw it back.*
Be a damn shame if a cache of poison gas grenades accidentally blew up.
I’m sure amnesty international is typing up an article as we speak.
