Russia: Ukraine has repeatedly released white phosphorus from drones

According to Isna, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed on Wednesday that law enforcement agencies have evidence of Ukraine’s use of such ammunition, but she did not provide details.

“Our country’s law enforcement agencies, together with the Russian Ministry of Defense, have received indisputable evidence of repeated use of white phosphorus munitions, which were launched from drones by the armed forces of Ukraine in September,” Zakharova said.

On the other hand, Ukraine, which has accused Russia of using phosphorus in the war, called Zakharova’s statement “false” and accused Russia of using banned chemicals on the battlefield.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine told Reuters in a written statement: “Russia’s accusations are false and meaningless. “Ukraine has always been and continues to be a reliable participant in multilateral regimes for the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and faithfully fulfills international obligations arising from their provisions.”

Following the assassination of a senior Russian general, which the Kremlin blames on Kiev, tensions have risen between the two sides.

Following the death of General Igor Krylov, commander of the Russian nuclear, chemical and biological defense forces, in an explosion in Moscow that the Kremlin called a terrorist act, an investigation is underway, and the Russian Federal Security Service has announced the arrest of the suspect. .

According to reports, the arrested person is a 29-year-old citizen from Uzbekistan. According to the report of the Federal Security Service of Russia, the perpetrator of the terrorist attack in Moscow was recruited and entered Moscow by the Ukrainian special services, and he promised $100,000 and residence in one of the European Union countries to carry out this terrorist attack.
