Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ukraine has accused Russia of illegal chemical gas attacks against its soldiers.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian troops told the UK Daily Telegraph that Russia has regularly attacked them with small drones dropping teargas and other chemicals.<\/p>\n

The use of such substances, also known as CS, is banned during wartime under the Chemical Weapons Convention.<\/p>\n

Moscow was accused of using chemical weapons in a drone assault on the port of Mariupol in the early stages of its invasion in February 2022.<\/p>\n

Slava, a senior lieutenant whose unit is deployed near Lyman, in Donetsk oblast, said some Ukrainian units in his area were coming under \u201calmost daily\u201d gas attacks.<\/p>\n

The grenade was originally retrieved by soldiers in the 53rd Mechanised Brigade, one of the units with which she works.<\/p>\n

Maciorowski said: \u201cMy guys retrieved it while under fire because nobody believed they were being attacked with chemical weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ihor, the commander of a Ukrainian reconnaissance team deployed near the frontline city of Chasiv Yar, in Donetsk oblast, told the Telegraph: \u201cNearly every position in our area of the front was getting one or two gas grenades dropped on them a day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only way for them to successfully attack us was with gas.\u201d<\/p>\n
