"Only during the past month, the Defense Forces have documented 371 cases of use of ammunition containing hazardous chemical substances," StratCom stated.
This is 90 cases more compared to the previous period.
Since the onset of full-scale aggression, 1412 instances of the use of chemical weapons by the Russian army have been recorded.
Meanwhile, 44 countries have already supported the establishment of a tribunal for Russia's war crimes against Ukraine, including the EU countries, Canada, Georgia, the UK, and the US.
The use of chemical weapons by the Russian army
The Russian army has repeatedly used chemical weapons against Ukrainian soldiers. This violates the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
In particular, on March 10, it became known that the enemy used chemical weapons 15 times within a day on the front lines.
Furthermore, on March 3, the occupiers dropped chemical weapons nine times on positions held by Ukrainian defenders.
