Ukraine violates Chemical Weapons Convention – Russian MoD
A facility has been found near the Donbass town of Avdeevka that was used to produce the highly toxic hydrogen cyanide, Moscow has said
Russia has found evidence that Ukraine has violated the Chemical Weapons Convention, a top military commander stated on Monday.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who leads Russia’s chemical and biological defense forces, said that the engineering troops discovered a laboratory that was apparently used to produce hydrogen cyanide – an extremely dangerous and highly toxic agent that had been used as a chemical weapon during World War I.
The facility is located near Avdeevka, a fortified Donbass town liberated by Russia in February, the general said. The improvised laboratory itself was found inside a partially partially destroyed building in an industrial area, which also had a chemical processing plant. The facility had a rotary evaporator and several chemical reactors. Protective clothes, including US-made gas masks and Polish hazmat suits, were found on the site.
According to Kirillov, the samples taken from the facility and analyzed in Russian military laboratories contained traces of sulfuric acid and sodium cyanide, which can be used to produce hydrogen cyanide. Traces of cyanide anions – poisonous chemical compounds of the cyano group – were on multiple equipment, the general said.
The evidence “clearly shows that the laboratory was used to manufacture poisonous substances,” Kirillov stated. According to the Russian Defense Ministry’s estimates, the facility was capable of producing at least three kilograms of chemical agents per day if operated by just two or three people. Hydrogen cyanide can kill a person if they inhale just 70 to 80 milligrams of the agent.
During his briefing, Kirillov noted hydrogen cyanide is among the Chemical Weapons Convention’s so-called “Schedule 3 chemicals” – agents with large-scale industrial uses that have the potential of being used for chemical warfare. He added that, in May 2024, civilians in the Avdeevka region showed symptoms consistent with the hydrogen cyanide poisoning after Ukrainian military drones dropped bombs in the area. Another case was reported in Russia’s Belgorod Region, where Ukrainian ammunition fragments were found that had traces of hydrogen cyanide, Kirillov said.
Kirillov also cited a Ukrainian POW, whom he identified as Sergey Batyr, of confirming that laboratories that stored chemical agents were also used to make kamikaze drones.
In March 2022, Russia accused Ukraine of running a secret biological weapons program with the help of the US. Kiev has denied having biological weapons or other weapons of mass destruction. The Pentagon has described Russia’s claims as “absurd” and “laughable.”

Ukraine broke the cardinal rule of international arms regulatory treaties. Don’t get caught breaking them without a big enough stick to wave around to avoid consequences.
That’s how the major countries get away with it.
The USA broke the cardinal rule.
Obama and Dick Luger, of Indiana, started this bio-lab BS in 2005. Obama is the gift that just keeps on giving. https://www.globalsecurity.org/security/library/news/2005/08/sec-050829-usia01.htm

Movie item. I think about three years ago it was let on that there were over 46 bio/chemical labs over in Ukraine. I think I have a picture of Obunghole walking through one (as a senator??) somewhere in my collection.
Chemical Weapons is a new twist. add that to the biological weapons[/
Probably we will eventually find out it was a USA (CIA) owned and operated facility. Can you think of any other reasons the USA wants to hang on to Ukraine?
Zero in the news cycle.
The Biden's will be tied to that company. Metabiota
Remember way back when Putin banned a bunch of these satanists from Russia?
Russia has gone down all the paths to report US doing this. Never once in the news, no government official never rebutted it or said anything about another super power accusing USA of these atrocities - and he named names
Great, so what's being done about it? We've known these things since February 2022.
quick send them another 100 billion
Ukraine and Ukrainian Nazis must be eliminated immediately.
