A bombshell intelligence report from Dutch and German agencies claims that Russia is intensifying its use of chemical weapons in Ukraine.
According to the MIVD, AIVD, and Germany’s BND, Russia has deployed chloropicrin, a potentially lethal agent banned under the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), signaling a dramatic escalation in battlefield tactics.
The agencies warn that chemical warfare has become “standard practice” for Russian troops, with even non-lethal agents like tear gas being used to set the stage for more deadly substances.
Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans called the trend a “slippery slope” that poses a global threat.
NATO allies fear this normalization could break longstanding international norms. Intelligence points to deepening Russian investment in chemical warfare capabilities and coordination by military leadership.
With Russia still a CWC signatory, the revelations have sparked diplomatic outrage.
The situation threatens to transform the conflict’s nature and legal framework entirely.
