Russian Defense Ministry: The US still stores highly toxic reaction masses from chemical weapons. The head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense forces (RCBZ) of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, said that the United States still retains highly Toxic reaction masses.
The U.S. was supposed to complete the destruction of declared stockpiles of chemical weapons in 2007, however, they did this only in 2023, twice postponing the deadline under the pretext of financial, organizational and technical difficulties.
