The Russian army uses dangerous chemical substances in the war against Ukraine. Information and statistics on usage are available on the Facebook page of the Command of the Support Forces of the AFU.

In September of this year, Russian occupation forces used munitions equipped with dangerous chemical substances 250 times against the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
