Ukraine used chemical weapons-Russia

Budrigannews.com – On Monday, the state Investigative Committee of Russia said that it was looking into the alleged use of chemical weapons by Ukrainian forces near the towns of Bakhmut and Soledar.
In response to inquiries regarding the allegation, which was accompanied by no publicly available evidence, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry did not immediately respond.
The Donetsk People’s Republic, one of Russia’s proxies in the territories it has seized and occupied in eastern Ukraine, had reported that Ukrainian drones had used chemical weapons near the two locations, according to the Investigative Committee.
It stated, “As a result, servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces are experiencing a deterioration in their health and characteristic poisoning symptoms,” but did not specify the alleged substance or name it.
Russia has repeatedly warned Ukraine that it may be preparing to use non-conventional weapons, such as biological weapons or a radioactive dirty bomb, since the invasion began nearly a year ago. A similar attack has not occurred.
These accusations were rejected by Ukraine and its Western allies, but they were viewed as a possible precursor to a “false flag” attack, suggesting that Russia might employ similar strategies but seek to blame Ukraine. Russia has denied that assertion.
