"This intensification is concerning because it is part of a trend we have been observing for several years now, where #Russia's use of #ChemicalWeapons in this #war is becoming more normalized, standardized, & widespread."#Germany's BND foreign #intelligence agency confirmed the findings, saying in a statement that it had obtained the evidence alongside its #Netherlands counterparts.…#WarCrimes #Ukraine #InternationalLaw

The head of the #Netherlands Military #Intelligence Agency (#MIVD), Peter Reesink, said the conclusions followed "our own independent intelligence, so we have observed it ourselves based on our own investigations."The #UnitedStates first accused #Russia of using #chloropicrin, a chemical compound more toxic than riot control agents & first used by Germany during WWI, in May last year during the #Biden admin.[#Trump suspended US investigation of Russian #WarCrimes in #Ukraine]#law

"We must further increase the pressure. This means looking at more #sanctions & specifically not allowing them (#Russia) to participate in international bodies like the Executive Council of the #OPCW," he said.Reesink spoke of "thousands of instances" of #ChemicalWeapons use, …citing a Ukrainian figure of ~9,000.Rotating 2-year seats on the OPCW council will be up for negotiation in the coming months.#Ukraine #Europe #Security #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #Netherlands #Germany #geopolitics

The #intelligence findings were presented in a letter to the Dutch parliament Friday.#Russia is a member of the #OPCW &…[claims to have] destroyed its declared #ChemicalWeapons stockpiles.Increased #sanctions could happen in conjunction w/the European Commission, which has proposed listing 15 additional new entities & individuals to its sanctions framework, including for suspected use of chemical weapons in #Ukraine.#Europe #Security #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #Intelligence #geopolitics

"This isn't just some ad-hoc tinkering at the frontline; it is truly part of a large-scale program. And that is, of course, also concerning because if we don't clarify & publicize what #Russia is doing, it's highly likely these trends will continue," Reesink said.He called the use of #ChemicalWeapons by Russian armed forces "almost standing operating procedure."#Ukraine #Europe #Security #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #Netherlands #Germany #Intelligence #geopolitics

"We specifically linked the use of #chloropicrin to improvised munitions [#IEDs], such as filled light bulbs & empty bottles that are hung from a drone. When it comes to #teargas, we see that they are also misusing & converting existing munitions to act as the carrier for the gas," he said.Chloropicrin is listed as a banned choking agent by #OPCW, which was created to implement & monitor compliance with the 1997 #ChemicalWeapons Convention (#CWC).#Russia #Ukraine #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw

@Nonilex "Intelligence agencies say" -- There's absolutely no proof and until they provide any, go fuck off. "Saddam had WMD" Go fuck off. Obama: Qaddafi is about to slaughter his own people". Go fuck off. Russia's is winning, the winner has no need for chemical weapons. #Ukraine on the other hand.......
