Russian forces used chemical weapons on the battlefield 323 times in October, Ukraine’s General Staff reported. Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, radiation, chemical, and biological intelligence units have been recording the use of hazardous chemicals on the battlefield. Since February 2022, 4,613 cases have been recorded. Russia’s use of chemical munitions “flagrantly violates the rules of warfare, ignores the norms and obligations under the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling, and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction,” the General Staff said.
