According to him, the use of chemical weapons depends on many factors.
Russia wants the whole world to consider them mad. And chemical weapons are ineffective from a military point of view.
This was stated by Adviser to the Head of the President's Office Oleksiy Arestovych.
"Every cadet of the school knows that chemical weapons have many variables, weather in the area, that it can not be used seriously. Now in the war, chemical weapons - nothing, I think. Although the fact that they will threaten is unconditional,†Oleksiy Arestovych explained.
"From a military point of view, the use of chemical weapons is pointless. A large number of difficult conditions are needed - air, temperature, and wind … By the way, this is a terrible crime against humanity, which will be comparable to the bombing of Hiroshima, for example. This means that the sanctions that are now should break Russia in two months, they will break it in two days. They will not go for it. In my opinion, this is just an attempt to intimidate," said the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office.
As reported, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the Ukrainian side was allegedly preparing a provocation using toxic substances "to accuse Russia of using chemical weapons."
Later, the White House urged to be on the lookout after the Kremlin's fakes about "chemical weapons" in Ukraine, because, according to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, such statements by the Russian Federation are a trick and provide for the possibility of using chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine or conducting an operation " under a false flag" with its use.
