US says Russia used chemical weapons in Ukraine
by Nate Ostiller May 2, 2024 1:55 PM
The U.S. State Department said on May 1 that Russian forces have used the chemical agent chloropicrin in Ukraine.
The announcement was part of a larger statement about the introduction of new U.S. sanctions against more than 280 individuals and entities.
Ukrainian military officials have previously accused Russia of using chloropicrin and other chemical weapons.
Chloropicrin is often used as an herbicide. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), exposure to its vapors can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and, if inhaled, internal organs.
Although less lethal than other chemical weapons, it was used extensively in World War I before the 1925 Geneva Protocol prohibited the use of chemical and biological weapons in war.

Months of relentless Russian artillery pounding have devastated the strategic city of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine, new drone footage obtained by The Associated Press has shown, with barely a building left intact, homes and municipal offices charred, and a town that once had a population of 12,000 now left deserted.

It's rather easy to make. Most herbicides, pesticides and fungicides are used at extremely low concentrations by homeowners.
It does not sterilize soil and is destroyed by sunlight thus doesn't linger to harm invaders. It can damage older type gas masks. I see where it is often used followed by methyl bromide in agriculture.

If true, Russia is taking a dump in their own PR nest.
