The United States has accused Russia of using chemical weapons, including poison gas, as a method of warfare against Ukrainian forces, in violation of a global ban on the use of such weapons.
The State Department also said that the United States would impose sanctions on three state entities linked to Russia's chemical and biological weapons programs and four companies that support them.
Lt. Col. Artem Vlasiuk, an expert in the Ukrainian army department that deals with nuclear, chemical, biological and radiological security, said that about 250 cases of suspected chemical weapons use by Russian forces had been reported in February, about five times the number in March 2023.
