Russia intensifying use of #ChemicalWeapons in Ukraine, Dutch intelligence reports
#Russian #troops use banned #chemical agents to panic #Ukrainian forces, forcing #soldiers from dugouts, trenches with gas grenades dropped by #drones, making them easy targets for drone or artillery attacks
Now intelligence has confirmed the use of #chloropicrin — a substance that can kill in high concentrations in enclosed spaces.

"We specifically linked the use of #chloropicrin to improvised munitions [#IEDs], such as filled light bulbs & empty bottles that are hung from a drone. When it comes to #teargas, we see that they are also misusing & converting existing munitions to act as the carrier for the gas," he said.
Chloropicrin is listed as a banned choking agent by #OPCW, which was created to implement & monitor compliance with the 1997 #ChemicalWeapons Convention (#CWC).

What's in store if #HR9495 goes through? Let's revisit this "blast from the past" from 2020...
#FederalAgents Used #ToxicChemical #SmokeGrenades in #PortlandOregon
Portland protesters report severe and lasting #SideEffects from the #ChemicalWeapons used during #Trump’s “#OperationDiligentValor.”
by Sharon Lerner
October 10 2020"By the time she was standing in front of the federal courthouse on #LownsdaleSquare on the night of July 25, Olivia Katbi Smith had already been exposed to tear gas several times. On those previous occasions during the #BlackLivesMatter #protests in Portland, Oregon, this summer, being gassed had been very unpleasant: leaving her coughing and making her eyes and nose run and sting.
"But this time, standing about 30 feet from the fence that was surrounding the downtown courthouse, Smith felt suddenly and violently worse than she ever had before. 'I didn’t know if I was going to puke or pass out,' she recalled recently. 'I was stumbling, trying to get away.' Smith, who is 28, was wearing goggles plus an N95 mask and thought that whatever was making her ill might have been trapped inside her mask. 'So I made a really bad instinctual decision to take it off,' she said. 'And instead of bringing relief, it instantly felt so much worse, like I was trapped in the air. It was overwhelming. I could not breathe.'
"Smith, like thousands of others in Portland, took to the streets in June to protest the suffocation and killing of #GeorgeFloyd by a police officer. By the beginning of July, the crowds had begun to thin somewhat. But after #Trump decided to send federal law enforcement to the city that month, the number of protesters surged and violence escalated. And according to interviews with more than a dozen people who attended the protests and research by the Portland-based #ChemicalWeapons Research Consortium, there was a marked shift in the use of chemical munitions on the crowds in the second half of July, as the federal agents released greater amounts and different types of smoke and gas onto crowds that seemed to set off severe and sometimes lasting health effects.
"The Portland Police Bureau began using tear gas on Black Lives Matters protesters almost as soon as they first assembled in late May. Mayor Ted Wheeler acknowledged that the city has used '#CSTearGas.' The commonly used formulation contains 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile, a compound that was designed to induce immediate pain but can also have long-term effects, including chronic bronchitis. In early September, Wheeler ordered the police to stop using it. #TearGas is banned in war but can be used to disperse crowds of civilians.
After federal agents from the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity descended on Portland in July in a mission dubbed #OperationDiligentValor,' the use of chemical irritants to control, drive away, and confuse protesters and obscure the actions of law enforcement grew and intensified. Among the products that federal agents appear to have used during the #military-style #crackdown is a #hexachloroethane '#SmokeGrenade' manufactured by a company called #DefenseTechnology and sold as '#MaximumHCSmoke.' Volunteers for the Chemical Weapons Research Consortium collected 20 canisters from the protest area that are the size and shape of the smoke grenades, at least five of which still had Defense Technology labels on them. The group also analyzed the chemical residue on one of the recovered spent canisters and found it contained chemicals known to be released by the smoke grenades."

#Russia is using toxic chemical weapons, wrecking a ban it helped create: With the Kremlin’s activity in Ukraine, leaders in Russia and elsewhere will feel even less compunction about breaching norms.
"The 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention was one of the most important disarmament treaties to follow the Cold War, one of several that reduced tensions and built norms discouraging some of war’s many horrors. With the support of the Soviet Union and later Russia, it eliminated an entire class of weapons using chemical agents. But in Ukraine, Russia is now using chemical weapons it once agreed to outlaw.
The State Department announced on Wednesday that Russia has used a chemical agent, #chloropicrin, against Ukrainian forces, in violation of the treaty. Chloropicrin is a kind of tear gas, banned for use in wartime, which also has commercial applications as a soil fumigant in agriculture. …"

Russia used chemical weapons in Ukraine
#Chloropicrin is often used as an herbicide. Exposure to its vapors can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and, if inhaled, internal organs.
Although less lethal than other #ChemicalWeapons, it was used extensively in World War I before the 1925 Geneva Protocol prohibited the use of chemical and biological weapons in war.

Russian forces continue using chemical weapons in Ukraine, violating international conventions, said Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, the commander for the Tavria military sector
According to Tarnavskyi, Russia fired 2 artillery barrages containing a chemical substance, presumably #chloropicrin, on Aug. 6
Chloropicrin, widely used in WW I, is no longer legal for military use
