Russia equips martyrs with toxic substances for strikes on Ukraine
The Center for Countering Disinformation verified this information with the special services and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
It is known that a capsule with a concentrated combat chemical agent "CS" (irritant) was found in one of the drones. This is a highly toxic substance with an irritating effect.
The Central Defense Directorate noted that enemy drones can scatter capsules with a poisonous substance in order to harm people.
However, the information spread by some media outlets that the hulls of Russian drones themselves are treated with toxic substances is not confirmed.
As a reminder, the State Defense Committee recently reported that Russian troops are systematically using chemicals at the front. In particular, in the Zaporizhia region, cases of the enemy using poisonous gas ammunition are increasingly being recorded.
There were also reports of the use of chemical weapons by Russian troops in the Bakhmut area.
