Ukrainian troops in Donetsk oblast report regular attacks from small drones dropping teargas and other chemicals, which is a violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention. Moscow was previously accused of using chemical weapons in a drone assault on the port of Mariupol.
Ukrainian troops told the Daily Telegraph that they have been subjected to regular attacks from small drones dropping teargas and other chemicals.
A CS gas grenade was provided to the Telegraph for verification by Rebekah Maciorowski, an American combat medic and a qualified nurse serving in the Ukrainian army. Maciorowski said: “My guys retrieved it while under fire because nobody believed they were being attacked with chemical weapons.”
