Russia claims that Ukraine is preparing to use chemical weapons.

The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed on Tuesday that Ukrainian soldiers are training to use chemical shells in western-made artillery systems.

Igor Kirilov, head of the biological department of the Russian military, stated in a briefing that the country's military has discovered substances that can be immediately used in Ukraine's storage facilities. According to Kirilov, these substances included a mixture based on potassium nitrate, which could potentially affect the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and digestive system.

Kirilov further emphasized the need to pay attention to the documents found in the abandoned Ukrainian military positions and these locations, as they contain information about handling projectiles filled with chemicals.
