Confirmed: Russia is using chemical weapons in Ukraine.
The chemical used is Chloropicrin, known as one of the poison gasses of World War I.
This is consistent with video evidence I have encountered, where white plastic containers are dropped into Ukrainian fortifications, and Ukrainians are seen rushing outside to put on gas masks.
A Telegram post alleged to be from a Russian assault group says: "Pigs start their mornings not with coffee, but with chloropicrin."
I understand, there will be scepticism when these claims come from the US.
However, Ukraine has been mentioning breaches of the Chemical Weapons Convention for months, and unlike in Iraq, this time there is video and photo evidence from the frontline.
