The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have reportedly used chemical ammunition against Russian fighters on the Kharkiv section of the front. This information was provided by a medic from the 200th separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Northern Fleet, with the call sign “Shishka,” as reported by RIA Novosti.
He clarified that in 2022, near the settlement of Makarovo, the enemy dropped a gas grenade with chloropicrin near the trenches and bunkers from a drone. The heavy gas forced the fighters to leave the bunker.
“After our fighters left, artillery shelling began against them,” Shishka noted.
The medic emphasized that chemical ammunition has been used and continues to be used. He highlighted that chloropicrin causes irritation of the mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
A special forces fighter from the “Akhmat” unit, with the call sign “Aid,” operating in the Kremensky direction, confirmed that cases of the AFU using various chemical substances have been repeatedly recorded.
Yesterday, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Nikolai Pankov, congratulated the personnel of the 1st Mobile Brigade of Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Protection (RCBP) on being awarded the honorary title of “Guards.”
Earlier, the Russian Armed Forces repelled four attacks by the AFU.
