Russian troops used chemical weapons in Donetsk region (photo)

The department says that in chemical attacks against the Armed Forces, the Russians were involved in drones. In order to avoid the harmful effects of spraying aerosol grenades, the Ukrainian soldiers had some time to keep defense in chemical protection. "Several such pomegranates from the drone invaded our defenders in Donetsk region. One of them did not break, you can see it in the photo," - said on the Border Service page.

The publication emphasizes that despite the difficult conditions, the Armed Forces fighters continue to fight the army of the invaders. The possible use of chemical weapons in eastern Ukraine was also reported by legionnaires from the Freedom of Russia, who are fighting in the Armed Forces. It is about the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation "K-51" against Ukrainian servicemen in the Mayorsky district of Donetsk region.

According to the legionnaires, aerosol grenades are not considered lethal ammunition, but can significantly undermine soldiers' combat capability. Having experienced the effect of chemical weapons, fighters can no longer continue fire and hold positions. Soldiers who are influenced by aerosol grenades are more likely to be captured.

It is not denied that the shelling of the Armed Forces with chemical ammunition was the result of an unsuccessful Russian attack, which resulted in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Recall that according to the former NATO commander, James Stavidis, the use of nuclear weapons by the Russian Federation is unlikely. At the same time, he believes that the army of the Russian Federation can attack Kyiv, Odessa or Lviv with chemical weapons.
