Brussels, 15 July. (LaPresse) – "Russia is using chemical weapons in Ukraine. This information comes from Dutch and German intelligence, according to which these attacks are intensifying, and in fact there are also public sources. It was also surprising for me to hear that since the start of the large-scale invasion in 2022, Russia has carried out more than 9,000 chemical weapons attacks against Ukraine and its troops. So it's quite significant.‘ This was stated by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, at the press conference following the Foreign Affairs Council. ’Given that the intelligence services say that the situation is escalating, I think this is of great, great concern. Again, it shows that Russia wants to cause as much pain and suffering as possible in order to make Ukraine surrender," she added.
