US Accuses Russia of Using Chemical Weapons in Ukraine | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The US has accused Russia of using chemical weapons in Ukraine. The US says that Russia is using a banned substance called chloropicrin. Chloropicrin is a chemical that can cause irritation to the eyes, lungs and skin, and it can also cause nausea and vomiting. The US has imposed new sanctions on Russian firms involved the country’s chemical weapons programmes. Washington has also sanctioned companies that it accuses of helping Moscow evade earlier sanctions, including about 20 Chinese firms. But will these new restrictions really stop Russia? Russia seems to be focused on a new offensive in Ukraine. The city of Chasiv Yar seems to be the next battleground.

  4. Russia losing lot of money on Ukraine war they want to capture annexed land quickly if not then they give warnings to use nuclear as usual

  7. This accusation by America clearly means Russia is winning the conflict in ukraine, how long before Americas number one poodle, the UK also accuses Russia of the same thing

  12. IF THE USA IS USING CHEMICAL SENDING TO UKRAINE IS OKAY, BUT WHEN THE RUSSIA IS COUNTERING THE SAME THE USA SAYING WHY THEY ARE USING, ONLY AMERICA IS AUTHORIZE USING CHEMICAL SENDING CHEMICAL WEAPON, SO USA ARE THE ONLY ALLOWED TO USE CHEMICAL HA HA HA.

  17. USA drop untold amounts of “Agent Orange” chemical agents in Vietnam. The horrific genetic mutation and damage from the use of agent AO is still visible in Vietnam till this day.

  19. Why accuse Russia or using chemical weapons in Ukraine? Isr*el is openly using chemical weapons in Gaza and it is the US itself providing those weapons to Isr*el.

  24. Kkk we know who are the Kiera about chimicals weapons. The number one lies was Colin Powell in mundo vision and he did not like he was speaking the thuth! What a shame for a nation that claims defend justice. That’s the new excuse to use them by their side or to mask that they are all NATO countries against Russia and they are loosing ! What a shame !

  26. So what if russia used chemical weapons. The United States just used chemical weapons flash bangs rubber bullets tasers and physical violence on civilians protesting like they were terrorists. The whole world watched with thousands of hours of video evidence.
    The United States has literally lost its damn mind with hypocritical comments.

  27. The United States has become a full blown autocracy government dictating threats that are affecting billions of lives. Is the United States declaring war on the world. It sure does seem like it with all the sanctions and political attitudes toward other nations. This is getting out of hand with the US acting with Nazism attitudes toward the eastern side of the world. What the F is going on??? The dark side of the US government is showing its autocracy. shameful bs

  28. The only reason Russia is using the choking agent is to eventually capture the American Biological Nuclear protective military fighting suits and masks that NATO and America will send to Ukraine.

  29. Chloropicrin is not used in ANY Soviet-era munitions. It has not been used since WW1 and is only used in Western countries as an herbicide. It is not a component of any modern Western or Russian chemical weapon inventory. It is therefore logical to conclude that any presence of it is due to colateral secondary effects of a strike munition releasing it from a facility storing it. An event known in the military as a TIC/TIM event. TIC/ TIM are Toxic Industrial Chemicals and Toxic Industrial Materials and are a common chemical hazard on the modern battlefield. The only other explanation would be the detonation of a long-buried gas shell from WW1 and I don't think those types of weapons were used away from the Western Front or the area around Tannenberg.

  32. During the Soviet – Afghanistan War from 1979-1989, the Russian troops actually used VR55 nerve agent, Blue X sleeping agent, the deadly myco toxin Yellow Rain fungus against the Afghanistans. Chloropicrin is actually the lowest death choking agent with the smell of fly paper.

  35. India is going backwards

    first they should bring 1 or 2 child policy.

    then they should send all the bengalis to Bangladesh and muslim to pakistan because they asked for different country.

    then they should make a interstate ROYAL community and meet all of them in one place and decide who is best to become a king for india. let all the hindu royals vote for ONE Royal king. then under him get congress government, like how it is in japan.

    if something like this happens india will be good otherwise india is going backwards with all porn stars in power. porn stars will show you how to eat ICECREAM in Mtv splits villa show. and pink lips naked dance, you will learn that and you will die.

    have a look at your TV shows when congress was in power and now. there is a vast difference. then all covered and now all naked and you blame the west.

  38. Oh ok…. who used Nepalm , Tanks with radioactive shells, claimed WMD and hmmmmmm wonder who damaged the Nordstream 2 pipeline ….. not sure but does make you think of the Hypocrisy Clowns loose in Washington DC.

  39. The Vassal state comment seems to really bother France, Germany and UK. May be because it's True.

    The bias in the political commentary is visible.
    One gets that the NYT and CNN are not critical of America, what you do not get is why BBC, France 24 and DW news are not critical of American actions.
    Supposedly they have thier own "independent media" in thier "independent Democracies" once you explore that question you may start to get this "GiG".

    To be an enemy of US is dangerous but to be a friend is absolutely fatal, Germany learned it first hand.
