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.”
And generally speaking; gas is less effective than the same mass/volume of bomb. Literally handicapping themselves to be dicks.
I imagine they are using everything they have right now, including everything in their no-no storages.
Makes sense. So dumb that the Russian people haven’t killed their masters and ended this shit.
You know, that’s almost the thing that baffles me the most about human history. Majority of wars fought in the modern era seems like entire armies are just blindly obeying their masters. 1 person tells thousand upon thousands, “go forth and kill those other men, and risk your lives! Why? Don’t ask questions!”
“Yes sir!”
Not, “wtf lol?” [storms stage and starts stabbing]
Like, risk your lives killing another army, or risk your life killing one single dude… ⚖️🧮🤔📊📈🔮🫠
And nobody benefits from any of it!
Hierarchy is a hell of a drug.
Indeed it is 😕
