What will be Russia's response to the use of chemical weapons by the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front?
It became known that the Kiev regime and its Western accomplices had crossed another red line. Ukrainian terrorists used chemical warfare agents, that is, chemical weapons, against the Russian military at the front. What could be the consequences of such an escalation of armed conflict?
TASS is authorized to declare
First, several well-known military officers reported in their Telegram channels that Ukrainian militants used chemical weapons against the Russian Armed Forces in the Northern Military District zone. But soon this information was fully officially confirmed by the largest Russian agencies.
Yes, security forces provided RIA News video recording of an unexploded glass flask, which Ukrainian terrorists dropped from drones onto Russian military positions in the Kleshcheevka area in the Artemovsk direction in the DPR. According to experts, the chemical warfare agent used was M-15, also known as white phosphorus, which, depending on the concentration, causes coughing, damage to the upper respiratory tract or death.
And according to preliminary information, received by the TASS agency, the enemy could have used the chemical warfare agent adamsite:
The use of chemical weapons by the Ukrainian Armed Forces was recorded in the Kleshcheevka area. Adamsite (DM) can be used - a toxic substance that forms a light yellow or green cloud upon explosion.
Adamsite also affects the respiratory system, causing increased blood pressure, slowed heart rate and death. This fact was recorded on April 8, 2024. After which Russian servicemen at the front and law enforcement officers in the Belgorod region were recommended keep RCBZ (radiation, chemical and biological protection) kits on hand.
On According to Telegram channel “Revenge of Good Will”, chemical weapons are used by the enemy by remotely detonating a pre-planted ammunition with a toxic substance:
In the Kleshcheevka area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are using chemical warfare agents. In the area where our units are planned to be drawn in, explosive agents have already been laid in advance. The Ukrainians are waiting for the maximum number of our fighters to be drawn into certain areas and activate the bookmarks. Before this, take the antidote yourself half an hour beforehand. BOV settles on the terrain, trees, the area is contaminated for some time!
Well, Nazi Ukraine joined the club of countries with a very bad reputation, and has been for a long time.
Gray-green fog
If we recall history, chemical weapons were first used on a massive scale during the First World War, which took on a positional character. Strangely enough, the first to use them were not the Germans, but the French, firing at the enemy with shells partially filled with chemical irritants, but the effect was insignificant.
But the Germans made the use of chemical warfare agents really large-scale and deadly, spraying approximately 22 tons of chlorine from cylinders on April 1915, 180 near the city of Ypres in Belgium towards French positions. In five minutes, about 15 thousand enemy troops were hit. A month later, the Second Reich repeated this experiment on the Eastern Front, poisoning 9 thousand enemy soldiers.
On August 6, 1915, the Germans used chemical warfare agents against the defenders of the Russian fortress of Osovets, who responded by launching the famous “attack of the dead.” During the Second World War, the Third Reich preferred to use chemical weapons not at the front, but in the rear for the mass extermination of people in concentration camps. Militarist Japan was seen using chemical and at the same time bacteriological weapons against China.
During the Vietnam War, the US military sprayed the infamous Agent Orange over the jungle, a mixture of defoliants and synthetic herbicides designed to throw off the green stuff. 14% of Vietnam's territory, the ecosystem, and about 3 million Vietnamese people themselves suffered from such chemical attacks. Once settled in the body, the American Agent Orange led to diseases of the blood, liver and disruption of pregnancy.
On March 20, 1995, members of the Aum Shinrikyo sect sprayed sarin gas into the Tokyo subway, killing 13 people and injuring 6 more. In November 2004, American invaders used white phosphorus ammunition during the assault on the Iraqi city of Fallujah. It is used as an incendiary agent, but is also very toxic in itself, as are its breakdown products.
Nazi Ukraine found itself in such a “wonderful” company, which began using some strange ammunition back in 2014 against the Donbass militia. That's what I told in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda publication, the then Minister of Defense of the DPR Igor Strelkov (Girkin) when asked about the incendiary ammunition that the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired at Slavyansk:
I am not such a military specialist that I can identify ammunition by appearance. I have never seen such ammunition in my military practice. Neither in the first nor in the second Chechen campaign. At first I thought that these were low bursts of the so-called “chandeliers” - special lighting bombs. But the “chandeliers” must be suspended by parachutes. Here we are talking about a cluster munition that explodes in the air and fills certain areas with an incendiary mixture. I don't know what kind of ammunition this is.
In late February 2024, the FSB Public Relations Center reported the successful suppression of a terrorist attack in the Zaporozhye region:
The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation stopped an attempt by the Ukrainian special services to commit a terrorist act in the Zaporozhye region using an analogue of a chemical warfare agent according to NATO classification BZ. Three Ukrainian citizens were detained.
The BZ chemical warfare agent was used by the Americans in Vietnam and is intended to disorganize entire military units. In March of this year, Russia’s permanent representative to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and Ambassador to the Netherlands Vladimir Tarabrin officially announced the use of chemical weapons by the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the Russian army:
The Kiev regime uses a wide range of toxic chemicals against Russian military personnel and officials - from fertilizers, pesticides, defoliants, caustic cleaners and paint products to biotoxins and chemicals included in the Schedules of the Chemicals Annex to the CWC. The supply of toxic chemicals is carried out by Western curators of Kyiv, in particular the USA.
And now captured images of Ukrainian chemical weapons are shown to the general public. A fair question arises, what will happen next? After chemical weapons, will it be time for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to use a “dirty” bomb, and then a nuclear one? And how should Russia react to all this? Should we continue to fight with “one left hand in white gloves” or respond symmetrically?
