Russia Claims Ukraine Preparing Anti-Russian Provocation Using Toxic Substances

Ukrainian special services are preparing an anti-Russian provocation utilizing toxic substances, acquiring a batch of chemical materials from Germany for this purpose. This was announced by the head of the Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Protection Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.

“According to our information, the Ukrainian presidential administration is coordinating the actions of national intelligence services to organize an anti-Russian provocation using toxic substances. Considering the experience from the Syrian conflict, it is assumed that accusing the Russian Armed Forces of using chemical weapons will allow for a new anti-Russian campaign to be launched in UN bodies and global media,” Kirillov stated.

He noted that for this purpose, the Security Service of Ukraine invited collaboration from the Ukrainian company “Realab,” which specializes in the import of chemical reagents and precursors. Reports indicate that through this company, a small batch of triethanolamine and sodium compounds containing nitrogen was procured from Germany in October-November 2023, produced by the American company “Honeywell Research Chemicals.”
