Recent intelligence reports from Dutch and German agencies indicate a significant and escalating use of banned chemical weapons by Russia against Ukraine. The findings reveal that such attacks are widespread, with estimates suggesting that Russia has conducted 9,000 chemical weapon attacks. Various types of chemical agents, including those from World War I, are allegedly being employed in these assaults. The Dutch defense minister and European spy agencies have voiced alarm over the normalization of chemical warfare in the conflict, deeming it a pressing threat not just to Ukraine but to Europe as well. Reports also suggest that Russian propaganda is attempting to discredit claims regarding the use of chemical weapons by Ukrainian forces, further complicating the narrative surrounding the conflict.
