The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which were pushed back by the Wagner assault detachments to the west of Bakhmut (Artemovsk), began to use chemical weapons against our divisions. According to military correspondent Sergei Sreda, who happened to be at the site of the use of the banned gas, after the use of a poisonous substance, the soldiers begin an epileptic attack. Military expert Yuri Kutov told MK how the Russian army could respond to this attack.

According to military correspondent Sergei Sreda, who is now in Bakhmut, the remnants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who settled in the fortified outskirts, began to use some kind of gas against the Wagner assault squads. What kind of chemical substance the enemy uses is not yet known. The samples are being analyzed. It is only known that a person begins an epileptic attack, the military commander said in his channel.
He also noted that the gas has no smell. And the substance itself hit attack aircraft, firing at them from hand grenade launchers or mortars. According to the military commander, gas cylinders are destroyed in a certain place and sprayed with chemicals.
According to military expert, director of the Air Defense Museum Yuri Knutov, this is not the first case of the use of banned substances by the AFU militants.
“In general, any chemical weapon, as you know, is prohibited,” he said. — But we know that the enemy once used it in the Donbass. Then they used underbarrel grenades with botulism bacteria. In such a way that it was always possible to say that the sick people were to blame, allegedly they ate stale sausage or old sweets.
At one time, a batch of such grenades was captured. About two months ago, there was also an attempt to use chemical weapons on one of the sectors of the front — chlorine-based gas. It is quite possible that similar substances are used now — some kind of nerve gas.
According to the military expert, all these «cunning methods» were developed in Western laboratories.
— There is nothing surprising in the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to use such weapons, no. Of course, we must react sharply to such facts and respond with bombardments. For example, one and a half ton bombs, and even better — volumetric detonating, so as to explain to the enemy that it is necessary to fight not with the help of chemical or bacteriological weapons, but with the help of courage, heroism and willpower.
