Telegraph investigation reveals those on front line are being exposed to gases banned during wartime

Russian troops are carrying out a systematic campaign of illegal chemical attacks against Ukrainian soldiers, according to a Telegraph investigation.

The Telegraph spoke to a number of Ukrainian soldiers deployed in positions across the front line who detailed how their positions have been coming under near daily attacks from small drones, mainly dropping tear gas but also other chemicals.

The use of such gas, which is known as CS and commonly used by riot police, is banned during wartime under the Chemical WeaponsConvention.

Ihor, the commander of a Ukrainian reconnaissance team who is deployed near the front line city of Chasiv Yar, in Donetsk Oblast, told The Telegraph: “Nearly every position in our area of the front was getting one or two gas grenades dropped on them a day.”

      For saying Russians will never be as good at warcrimes as the Zionist place, or for saying Russian soldiers are assholes?

      See I don’t even know what the people who wrote the bots are trying to discourage me from saying when they baselessly call me a Nazi anymore.

        It’s like those Russian policemen arresting that lady who went to red square to support the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Everyone’s a Nazi unless they repeat the propaganda like parrots, and even then…

          Fascism doesn’t stop killing. You flatten the territory to match the map (with killing) and then you make a simpler map, which is now simpler than the territory…

          Fucking Kurt Gödel proved it can’t work.
