In August, Russian troops launched 447 attacks against Ukraine’s Defense Forces using specialized munitions containing hazardous chemical agents.
Ukraine’s Support Forces Command reported this on social media, Ukrinform saw.
It was established that, in total, from February 15, 2023 to August 24, 2024, Russia launched a total of 4,035 attack involving chemical agents.
“Next to conventional means of fire damage, the enemy employs munitions fitted with hazardous chemical riot control substances, such as K-51 and RG-VO, proscribed for use as means of warfare. There is also a significant share of munitions containing hazardous chemical compounds of an unknown type,” the Support Forces noted.
With such actions, Russia grossly violates the rules of warfare, ignores the norms and obligations undertaken under the Convention on the prohibition of the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons and on their destruction.
乌克兰通讯社援引乌克兰支援部队司令部在社交媒体上的消息报道，8 月份，俄军使用含有危险化学药剂的专用弹药对乌克兰国防军发动了 447 次攻击。
据确定，从 2023 年 2 月 15 日至 2024 年 8 月 24 日，俄罗斯总共发动了 4,035 次涉及化学药剂的攻击。
支援部队指出，“除了常规的火力破坏手段外，敌人还使用装有危险化学防暴物质的弹药，例如 K-51 和 RG-VO，这些物质被禁止用作战争手段。还有相当一部分弹药含有未知类型的危险化学化合物。”
俄罗斯的此类行动严重违反了战争规则，无视《禁止发展、生产、储存和使用化学武器及销毁此种武器的公约》规定的规范和义务。
