“In recent years, the work on the Hague site has raised more and more questions and complaints.

Shulgin noted that the organization plays an important role, especially for developing countries, in promoting the economic and technological development of states in the field of the use of chemistry for peaceful purposes.
“However - and this is undoubtedly regrettable - many developed states are in no hurry to share their know-how and equipment in this area, and also practice sanctions and other restrictive measures,” the Russian permanent representative said.
He also said that the work of the OPCW is still in demand, and the Russian side intends to do everything possible to rectify the situation.
“Therefore, there can be no question of any curtailed participation of Russia in the organization,” concluded Shulgin.
In April, the Russian permanent representative to the OPCW said that some Western countries are putting enormous pressure on the technical secretariat of the organization.
