Amid the ongoing heavy battles in Bakhmut, Wagner fighters reported that Ukrainian soldiers are using unidentified chemical weapons in an attempt to stop Russian advance.
According to Wagner fighters, most recently, Ukrainian forces used this chemical weapon on the street of Trudovye Rezervy in Bakhmut on January 7. As a result of the attack, Russian soldiers got severe burns. They were evacuated from the battlefield and hospitalized.
Claims of Russian forces were traditionally ignored by the MSM. However, new videos distributed by Ukrainian sources confirmed that the AFU did use chemical weapons.
Ukrainian militants boasted of making “dirty bombs” on the social networks:
In the video, Ukrainians are assembling kamikaze aircraft aimed at dropping homemade ammunition.
The shells are made of small homemade cylinders filled with some kind of chemical substance. This is indicated by the weight of the contents which are different and average 700 grams. The shown head fuses also do not look like detonation devices but are more like devices aimed at mixing or spraying chemicals.
Highly likely, these ammunition are filled with hydrocyanic acid (HCN) which is a poisonous volatile liquid. 85-90% of poisoning cases end in death. The concentration of HCN of more than 0.4 mg/l causes deadly poisoning. If the concentration of the substance in the air exceeds 11 mg / l, then intoxication is possible even percutaneously.
That’s why the shells are stored in the refrigerator in order to prevent thermal expansion of the substance and violation of the tightness of the shell. Conventional shells are not stored in the refrigerators.
The small kamikaze drones used by the AFU are likely designed primarily to defeat the enemy inside the premises in urban battles, which increases the concentration of deadly poison in the air. This is likely the reason why Ukrainians on the video do not use ordinary Mavic drones but prefer fpv UAVs which are more manoeuvrable.
According to the claims made by the Ukrainian militant, the video was made by the commander of a separate tactical air reconnaissance group “Birds of Magyar” , Robert Iosifovich Brovdi (Vladimir Ilyashevich Batsko).
They ammunition was provided by a person with the call sign Shaman from the 63rd separate mechanised brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In late 2022 , this unit was deployed in the Opytnoe— Kleshcheyevka region. However, taking into account, the rapid advance of Russian forces in the Bakhmut-Soledar area, the 63 brigade could be later sent to reinforce the Ukrainian garrison in Bakhmut.
The video spread by Ukrainian sources indicates that the production and use of chemical weapons on the front lines was a private initiative. However, the Ukrainian military command is the first to stop such illegal amateur performances. Unfortunately, the criminal initiatives of use of chemical weapons are definitely patronized by officials of the Kiev regime who in their turn remain unpunished thanks to their Western patrons.
