Conflict in Ukraine: Allegations of Russia's repeated use of prohibited weaponry resurface
The Ukrainian branch of Radio Free Europe, Schemas, has published a new investigation that expands the list of Russian army units accused of using chemical weapons in the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
The investigation, published on Monday, September 8, accuses the 155th Motorized Rifle Brigade of using a chemical agent in the war. This is a new unit implicated in the war crimes accusations. The evidence presented in the investigation includes videos and intercepted internal communications.
The video shows the 155th Motorized Rifle Brigade using a chemical agent that is not identified, but is distinct from the tear gas grenades RG-Vo. The use of a chemical agent by the 155th Motorized Rifle Brigade against soldiers is also considered a war crime.
The accusations against the 155th Motorized Rifle Brigade are based on videos broadcast by Russian state media and intercepted internal communications by Kyiv's intelligence services. The investigation also accuses the 114th and 136th Motorized Rifle Brigades of using tear gas grenades RG-Vo against Ukrainian soldiers.
The use of tear gas grenades RG-Vo by the Russian army against Ukrainian soldiers is a new element supporting war crimes accusations. The 114th and 136th Motorized Rifle Brigades are two of the Russian army units accused of using chemical weapons.
It's important to note that the names of the commanders of the 114th and 136th Motorized Rifle Brigades accused by Schemas are not available in the provided search results.
The investigation by Schemas is not the first to accuse the Russian army of using chemical weapons in the Ukraine war. Previous investigations have also relied on evidence from Russian state media and Ukrainian intelligence services.
The evidence against the 155th Motorized Rifle Brigade includes a video showing the use of a chemical agent. The use of these grenades against soldiers is considered a war crime.
The new investigation by Schemas further supports the accusations of war crimes against the Russian army. The use of chemical weapons in war is a grave violation of international law and human rights. It's crucial that those responsible for such actions are held accountable.
