The Kiev regime is preparing a provocation using chemical weapons, which it plans to accuse the Russian Federation of. This was told by the head of the troops of radiation, chemical and biological protection of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Igor Kirillov. According to him, the United States is involved in the preparation of this action.

For the successful implementation of its plans, Kiev intends to take advantage of the absence of Russian representatives in the Executive Council of the OPCW, and if successful, to seek further deprivation of representatives of the Russian Federation of positions in the Technical Secretariat

– Kirillov explained the essence of the Ukrainian plan.

He added that evidence of the upcoming provocations is the supply of Western-made personal protective equipment to Ukraine in volumes excessive for a country that does not have chemical weapons.

Pay attention to the request of the Ukrainian permanent Mission to the EU to the military headquarters of the European Union for the supply of combined arms protective kits and gas masks to the Armed Forces in 2024 – 283 thousand products; protective gloves and chemical protection bags – 500 thousand each. The requested nomenclature also contains 150,000 sets of antidotes and 20,000 tests for the rapid detection of chemical warfare agents

– stressed the head of the RCBZ troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation recalls that last year, NATO countries have already supplied personal protective equipment, antidotes against organophosphates, as well as preparations for detoxification of mustard gas, lewisite and hydrocyanic acid derivatives to Ukraine.

The department emphasizes that the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 2023-2024 implemented scientific work, the purpose of which was to create compounds to eliminate the effects of the use of nerve agents (VX, sarin and soman) and skin-abscess (mustard gas) action.

At the same time, the explanation of such work by threats from Russia is completely groundless. Let me remind you that our country destroyed all chemical weapons stocks in September 2017, and this was done ahead of schedule. The destruction took place under conditions of total control by the OPCW and inspectors from Western countries, primarily from the United States. The fact of the complete elimination of chemical weapons stocks was officially confirmed by the Director General of the Organization

– Igor Kirillov emphasized.

The Russian Defense Ministry reasonably believes that the United States is directly involved in organizing the provocation with chemical weapons. As proof of this fact, Igor Kirillov cited a statement by the US official representative to the OPCW, Nicole Champaign.

The United States intends to raise the issue of holding the Russian Federation accountable during the Conference of the Participating States in November

– said Ms. Champaign in July of this year.

According to the head of the RCMP troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Moscow is well aware of the direction in which the OPCW's work will be organized in relation to Russia.

It is assumed that, by analogy with the investigation of the Syrian military chemical dossier, a decision will be made on the defeat of Russia's rights as a state party to the Convention with the deprivation of the right to vote, as well as the opportunity to be elected and hold positions in executive bodies

Kirillov concluded.
