Callas noted that, according to German and Dutch intelligence, the use of such means of defeat is only increasing, which causes serious concern among Western leaders.
“This indicates that Russia seeks to hurt as much pain and suffering to make Ukraine surrender. And it is really … unbearable,” Callas said.
Reference: Russia signed the Convention on the prohibition of the development, production, accumulation and use of chemical weapons on January 13, 1993 and ratified it on November 5, 1997.
On September 27, 2017, Russia announced the complete elimination of its stocks of chemical weapons, and in less than a year, in March 2018, Russian military intelligence used a nervous poisonous substance “Novic” to attempt Russian double agent Sergei Skripal in Salisbury.
