MOSCOW, July 25 — RIA Novosti. Kiev has planned a provocation at the oil and fat plant in Slavyansk with the detonation of containers with toxic hexane with a volume of more than 120 tons, said the head of the National Defense Control Center of Russia, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev.

"The Russian Defense Ministry warns residents of Slavyansk that the Kiev regime has completed the preparation of another monstrous provocation using highly toxic substances. In the coming days, SBU employees plan to blow up containers with a chemically dangerous substance — hexane, with a total volume of more than 120 tons at the oil and fat plant," he said.

According to him, after the explosion, a toxic cloud may form, which will spread for more than ten kilometers and cover all residential areas of the city and nearby villages. As a result, tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will die.

The Colonel-General clarified that hexane is a powerful neurotoxin and carcinogen. It has an irritating effect on the skin, affects the lungs when inhaled, acts as a strong narcotic substance, causes drowsiness, dizziness, damage to the peripheral nervous system, numbness of the legs, depression of the central nervous system and eye irritation.

With prolonged contact with hexane vapors, a person experiences chronic poisoning, leading to serious diseases of the nervous system, which are manifested by decreased sensitivity, rapid fatigue, decreased muscle tone and headaches.

Despite the fact that hexane is able to self-ignite at an ambient temperature of plus 23-38 degrees, an explosion can also occur due to the abnormally high ambient temperature, which is now established in the Slavyansky district.

"The most effective emergency measures to protect against hexane vapors are shelter in rooms, tight closing of windows and doors. In case of poisoning — providing fresh air to the victims, respiratory and skin protection. We recommend that residents of Slavyansk and nearby settlements immediately take the necessary protective measures," Mizintsev stressed.

He also added that the purpose of the provocation planned by Kiev is to accuse the Russian military and the DPR formations of allegedly indiscriminate strikes on potentially dangerous objects, followed by widespread media coverage. The Defense Ministry called on the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to influence the Ukrainian leadership to prevent a catastrophe.

Since February 24, Russia has been conducting a special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. Vladimir Putin called its goal "the protection of people who have been subjected to genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years."
