The Ukraine war continues to escalate. Following the deployment of troops by North Korea, the international ballistic missile launches by Russia, and the hiring of Yemeni mercenaries by Putin's Army, it is now Ukraine that has requested South Korea to send weapons to fight against the Russians. There is also concern about the use of antidisturbance chemical weapons.
The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security, Josep Borrell, warned this Wednesday that there are increasing reports of the use of antidisturbance substances, prohibited by the Chemical Weapons Convention, by Russian occupying forces in Ukraine.
"The use of antidisturbance agents as a method of warfare is prohibited by the Convention. However, there are increasing reports of the use of these agents by Russia against Ukrainian soldiers," Borrell stated in a statement on the day commemorating all victims of chemical warfare.
