All-night attack on Kyiv injured at least 23 people, damaging railway infrastructure and setting buildings and cars on fire throughout the city

German federal intelligence service , BND, has just published a joint report with the Dutch intelligence and military intelligence services accusing Russia of increasing the use of chemical weapons in Ukraine in a violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Dutch defence minister, Ruben Brekelmans , said on the report:

“These weapons are being employed systematically and on a large scale. This is a slippery slope. It is completely unacceptable and again demonstrates the brutality of the aggressor Ukraine has to face.”

“Lowering the threshold for the use of this type of weapon p oses a danger not only to Ukraine but also to the rest of Europe and the world.

This calls for more sanctions, the isolation of Russia and undiminished military support for Ukraine.”
