Russia accuses Ukraine of ‘chemical terrorism’ using toxin

Al Jazeera  

Kyiv dismisses the allegations of poisoning Russian soldiers with botulinum toxin and says invading troops likely ate expired canned food. An adviser to Ukraine’s interior ministry said on Saturday in response the alleged poisoning could have been caused by Russian forces eating expired canned meat. “On the fact of chemical terrorism sanctioned by the Zelenskyy regime, Russia is preparing supporting evidence with the results of all the analyses,” the ministry said in a statement. Russia has said its “special military operation” launched on February 24 is aimed at demilitarising Ukraine and protecting Russian speakers on what President Vladimir Putin called historical Russian land.
