Telegraph investigation reveals those on front line are being exposed to gases banned during wartime
Russian troops are carrying out a systematic campaign of illegal chemical attacks against Ukrainian soldiers, according to a Telegraph investigation.
The Telegraph spoke to a number of Ukrainian soldiers deployed in positions across the front line who detailed how their positions have been coming under near daily attacks from small drones, mainly dropping tear gas but also other chemicals.
The use of such gas, which is known as CS and commonly used by riot police, is banned during wartime under the Chemical WeaponsConvention.
Ihor, the commander of a Ukrainian reconnaissance team who is deployed near the front line city of Chasiv Yar, in Donetsk Oblast, told The Telegraph: “Nearly every position in our area of the front was getting one or two gas grenades dropped on them a day.”
Russia and Israel are really competing on who can do more war crimes.
Russia doesn’t stand a chance.
Sure, they can try, but their soldiers are still asshole humans at the end of the day.
If they manage to occupy Ukraine they’ll probably win the warcrime game but yea currently they can just torture and kill POWs and try to bomb civilians from far away. At the start of the war they were definitely winning on war crimes with the civilian mass graves.
I think what Russia is banking on is the rise of the global far-right, where the newly emerging far-right will remove “political correctness” from war, and also Russia is pretty infamous for information control, so they can just say “Ukronazis did it” or something like that until everyone accepts that as a hard fact.
You misspelled “Hamas” there. Russia and Hamas have been having quite a competition. Last time I checked they’re still raping hostages to death.
Hamas would have to commit 20 x October 7ths in order to achieve the cruelty Israel willingly carried out among civilians of Gaza—and aid workers—half of the dead being women and children.
Your response? Something-something, “ends justify the means”?
