The Russian Defense Ministry charged yesterday that the Kiev regime has resorted to chemical warfare in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. “Against the backdrop of military defeats in Donbass and elsewhere, the Zelenskyy regime sanctioned [approved—ed.] terrorist acts involving the use of chemical poisoning substances against Russian servicemen and civilians,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

On July 31, the statement reports, a number of Russian soldiers were taken to a hospital suffering from what would be determined to be poisoning by botulinum toxin type B. “At present, the Russian Federation is preparing supporting documents with the results of all the analyses carried out on the chemical terrorism sanctioned by the Zelenskyy regime,” the statement said. “The evidence of the Kiev regime’s chemical terrorism will soon be officially sent to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) through the Russian Permanent Mission.”
“Given the evidence of state terrorism by the Kiev regime, an additional investigation is under way regarding the poisoning with chemical substances of the head of the provisional administration of Kherson Region, Vladimir Saldo,” the statement concludes.
