He said this in an interview with CNN, which he published in his Telegram.



 

"Three people were injured last night in Mariupol as a result of an explosion of an unknown substance that Russians dropped from a drone. It is too early to say what substance it was and whether  attack can be classified as a chemical attack," Kirilenko said.

 

Head of Donetsk military administration reminded that Russians are hiding traces of their crimes in Mariupol and using mobile crematoria to burn  civilians they killed.

 

According to Kyrylenko, thousands of people died in the city.

 

On April 11, Azov Regiment stated that Russia had used a poisonous substance against  military and civilians in Mariupol.

Britain and its partners will check the details of usage  of chemical weapons in Ukraine and demand an answer from Putin. 

In Mariupol, victims of the spread of a poisonous substance of unknown origin by the enemy are in a relatively satisfactory condition.
