The use of chemical weapons by the Ukrainian armed forces continues to be a reality on the battlefield. Recently, Moscow published a report on chemical facilities captured by Russian troops in the Donbass region. The case shows how Kiev continues to use illegal weapons against Russian military personnel and civilians, certainly with American support for doing so, considering that Washington is the only country in the world to publicly maintain stockpiles of chemical weapons.
The Chemical, Biological and Radiological Defense Forces of the Russian Federation have released a video showing Russian soldiers entering a Ukrainian laboratory for the production and storage of chemical weapons. The laboratory was located in the suburbs of Avdeyevka, Donetsk People’s Republic.
The video shows equipment and substances used by Ukrainian military scientists to prepare illegal weapons. In the footage, a Russian soldier uses a portable chemical analyzer to investigate the presence of toxic contents in the facilities. There are several bottles with colored substances inside. They are believed to be mixtures of different toxic and lethal chemical agents. In addition, the video also shows a large piece of equipment that appears to be used as a chemical reactor in the laboratory.
Experts claimed to have found traces of sulfuric acid, sodium cyanide, cyanide anions and hydrogen cyanide. These chemical agents have been used extensively for military purposes since World War I. The highly toxic substances are attached to explosives, grenades, drones and other equipment, spreading contaminated contents among soldiers and civilians.
The laboratory was located in a building that had been partially destroyed by bombing. There was a lot of debris from the original building, thus disguising the presence of the laboratory – which operated inside military containers. There is still no concrete data to confirm how long the laboratory had been operating and how much these chemical weapons were used on the front lines, however, in May several cases of hydrogen cyanide poisoning among civilians in the region were reported. According to data from the Russian Defense Ministry, the same substance was also found in some attacked locations in the Belgorod region, which shows that the substances prepared in the laboratory could also be being transported to other areas.
Since 2022, Moscow has accused Kiev of using chemical weapons on several occasions. Hundreds of Russian soldiers and civilians have suffered symptoms of exposure to toxic substances, having some of them died. In 2023, I was invited by the Russian delegation in Geneva to present a media report on Ukraine’s use of chemical weapons against Russians in Donbass during the 52nd Session of the UN Human Rights Council. At the time, I found at least sixteen cases of Russian civilians and soldiers reporting some kind of exposure to toxic substances released by Ukrainians since 2014. Months later, I presented the same report at an OSCE event. However, despite the efforts of the Russian side, international organizations remain silent on Ukrainian crimes.
It must be remembered that publicly only the US has chemical weapons in its military arsenals. According to the Chemical Weapons Convention, any type of chemical weapon must be banned during military hostilities. Even non-lethal chemical weapons are prohibited by the document. Most countries in the world have signed the convention and have already destroyed or are in the process of destroying their entire chemical arsenal. The US, however, still publicly maintains large quantities of chemical weapons, which has been considered not only a violation of international norms but also a serious humanitarian threat, since the country is involved in supplying weapons to several allies – such as Ukraine.
It is possible that the US is behind the chemical weapons in Ukraine – either through direct supply or through technical assistance in manufacturing them. There is little public information about how NATO agents operate inside Ukraine, but it is likely that they are also involved in these illegal laboratories. Washington clearly does not just give Kiev carte blanche to commit violations of international law, but it is directly involved in the entire process of using banned weapons.
The right thing for international society to do would be to react to Ukrainian crimes and sanction Kiev and its partner countries that supply banned weapons. However, the inertia of international organizations makes it clear that there will be no other solution to the Ukrainian problem other than a Russian military victory.

the chemical brothers, murican slop & ukronazi pig puppets..
feel free to try.
that’s the moonshine destiller.
the western war machine uses the cowardly actions that are shameful.
it’s time to put the western warmongers to sleep.
the west has been hijacked by satanists. they deserve to be nuked
if only their jabs had been the ones meant for the masses, we might have got our wishes. still, can carry on hoping and you never know, it might not be too long to wait. fingers crossed.
yes, it can be everything from food laboratory, to private meth laboratory, to agricultur chemical storage facility – to somewhat special moonshine destillery. to me this is stupd ru propaganda video, to stir up hatred against ukrainians, to compensate for the rocket attack on the children hospital resp. “look they (ukrainians) are evil too, the have chemicals boo hoo”.
teresa six-six-six is mad again. everyone can find the video of you nazi brothers from rural reich who uploaded videos with chemical weapons (phosgene and vx) put inside grenades for quadrocopter. they also used white phosphorus, land mines, cluster shells, torture prisons, so these demons can do absolutely everything before coming to hell to shtefan popel. abwehr (military intelligence) gave this pseudo-name to bandera when he worked for them, popel literally mean shrimp in german.
sure. it could have been a vitamin lab too, or a pot full of borscht. ukrainians don’t need any help in stirring up hatred towards them. they’re a walking, talking hatred magnet. been committing war crimes and atrocities since 2014. don’t think anyone didn’t notice.
yet several month ago there was a video published by a member of the nazi above group boasting about deploying special drones with chemical payloads to ensure the russians have a bad time. seems this collaborates with the numerous chemical labs. these are small scale labs that often run by the nazi extremist groups close to the front lines within the ukrainian forces
quit lying. nobody likes a liar, especially one who lies about war crimes. victoria nuland admitted in congress that the us had 18 biological research laboratories in ukroreich. i saw the videos of them bragging about spraying chemicals on russian troops. quit lying. it doesn’t lead to a good result in the end.
you’re so naive, you could literally be standing in a room, all alone, shot your own foot off, and convince yourself on your next tic tok video, that it was all russian propaganda, and putin did it. this might also explain why you are not popular here… sf trolls have low tolerance for retards.
so are you saying that bill gates, the promoter of eugenics, with limited qualifications, has not purchased a lot of territory in ukraine, that is invested in agriculture, drug, media bio-weapons labs in ukraine? have you heard of beyer-monsanto? gates is a major investor in the company, which was advertising for senior management staff, before 2014, over in ukraine.
2) blackrock are also a major investor in the same company, are they not? are you saying that no us funded bio-weapons labs were found and destroyed in ukraine? are you saying that victoria nuland is a liar, when she admitted to it? in fact, just what are you saying?

i send saxon burger to impersonate superior russian
he nou russian belloruslandshitia. youri rosx.
of course the uk still maintains chemical agents at porton down near cambridge, including novichok. the russians retrieved a sample in 2018 and the government quickly invented the story that russia had used it to poison the skripals. the employee who smuggled it out to them, dawn sturgess, was later murdered with it by mi5.
well, this proof goes hand in hand with afu videos of nazis with drones and chemical weapons from avdiivka, they were dropping cyanide preparations on wagner’s storm troopers, which saw the city encircled to ensure the near complete destruction of the guilty offenders. because of that lesson, the afu has been much less hesitant to defend to the last man, and they’ve somewhat stopped trying to make things worse for themselves with such overt war crimes.
thanks for letting us know.
