Russian propaganda media are spreading another fake about the Ukrainian military allegedly using American chemical munitions against the Russian army

client/title.list_title

The Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security reports.

"The Ukrainian Defense Forces used American-made chemical munitions on the battlefield," the Kremlin's pseudo-media spreads this information.

However, the propaganda does not specify where and when these munitions were allegedly used against the occupation forces. In addition, the US arsenal has no stockpiles of chemical weapons - the Pentagon reported that chemical munitions were disposed of on July 10, 2023.

In fact, it is the Russian invading troops who are actively using chemical munitions - according to the command of the AFU Support Forces, since the beginning of the large-scale war, the Russians have launched 465 chemical attacks on the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

  • Russian media are spreading fake information that their country allegedly destroyed all chemical weapons stockpiles back in 2017. However, they continue to use them at the front.
