Kirillov: Washington Plans to Carry Out False Flag operation in Ukraine Using Toxic Agents 

Moscow (ST) – Commander of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, announced today that The United States plans to organize a provocation in Ukraine with the use of toxic agents, while blaming Russia.

“On February 22, an influential American nongovernmental organization held a conference on the events in Ukraine. During the event, former US Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan made a statement, claiming that Russian troops were allegedly planning to use chemical weapons in the special military operation zone. We regard this information as the intention by the US itself and its accomplices to stage a provocation in Ukraine using toxic chemicals,” Kirillov said.

He stressed that Washington hopes that during hostilities it will not be possible to properly investigate the planned US chemical provocation in Ukraine, but added that in case the provocation does take place, the Russian Defense Ministry will identify and punish the true culprits.

Kirillov pointed out that chemical substances were delivered to Kramatorsk in a rail car of a train accompanied by foreign citizens on February 10. These facts speak of the United States’ attempt to stage large-scale provocations using the BZ combat psychotropic chemical agent in the conflict zone.

He revealed that the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Center scheduled the delivery of a large batch of individual protection gear to Ukraine, including 600,000 antidote capsules against organophosphorus chemical agents.

He indicated that the cargo was placed into US-made armored vehicles that set off for the engagement line as part of a military convoy.

Kirilliov added: “The West regularly announces the possibility of using weapons of mass destruction by Russia, but this has been already implemented more than once by the United States itself. He noted that part of the thermobaric munitions used against Russian forces in Ukraine was produced in the Czech Republic.
