Several Russian soldiers who took part in a military operation in Ukraine have been hospitalized with severe chemical poisoning, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The ministry said traces of botulinum toxin type B were detected in samples taken from these soldiers. After this, Russia accused Ukraine of “chemical terrorism”.
“The Russian soldier was hospitalized with symptoms of severe poisoning on July 31 after camping near the village of Vasilyevka in the Zaporizhia region,” the statement said.
The ministry accuses the Zelensky regime of authorizing terrorist attacks using toxic substances against Russian officials and civilians following successive military defeats in the Donbass and other regions.
In the current situation, Russia plans to send laboratory tests from the military to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). As the implementing body of the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons consists of 193 member states to permanently and permanently eliminate chemical weapons.
