“Although as recently as yesterday in this hall, our former Western partners beat their chests and declared that they would not allow the use of chemical weapons by anyone, we have no doubt that they will ignore this yet another war crime of the Zelensky regime.
These are the double standards of today's West," TASS quoted the diplomat as saying.
Nebenzya noted that just the other day, footage of the use of chemical warfare agents by the Armed Forces of Ukraine was distributed on Ukrainian news “with bravura comments”.
“Our competent authorities are currently verifying this information,” he said.
On February 6, the acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, announced that the Ukrainian military in the Artyomovsk and Vugledar directions were dropping chemical weapons from drones.
Investigators of the Russian Investigative Committee are investigating the use of chemical weapons by Ukrainian militants.
