Russia has 'unleashed chemical weapons on Mariupol' with Ukrainian troops reporting they are suffering breathing issues and dizziness - as the besieged port city's mayor reveals more than 10,000 civilians have died in the conflict so far.
The unidentified agent is said to have been dropped on the city from a Russian drone, according to unverified reports from the city's Azov regiment.
Details of the assault, via the Telegram messaging app, say a 'poisonous substance of unknown origin' has led to the city's defenders suffering from symptoms including breathing issues, 'respiratory failure' and 'vestibulo-atactic syndrome'.
The alleged attack came just hours after a pro-Russian general in Donbas appeared to promote the idea of using chemical weapons, telling state media it would 'smoke the Ukrainian moles out of the underground'.

Shocking...but not that surprising. They lie to us all the friggin time.
Let me tell you what you think: you think the US is micromanaging not the war... not the direction of war, weapons, tactics, etc.... but basic recruiting in the middle of nowhere Ukraine.
This tells me you are just dumb.
As for your Frenchies, I have no idea who they are, what news organization they are with; and why you would consider them Gospel when you have shit on literally every other media article on this forum if they are Pro-Ukraine all comes back down to one thing:
you are dumb. Just really really dumb.
So dumb I'm not even sure how you are alive. Too dumb to live, but too weird to die?
Correct...
So, you didn’t watch it. Okay. Go with that.
Fingers in ears, eyes closed, “LALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU.”
Got it.
Unlike you, going full projection on me, I watched 100% of the video.
But you should have told me to only watch a few seconds of it, because every second I watched, the dumber you became in my eyes.
"American footprint!" says these completely unknown people, because one guy is allegedly an American, which means the USA are micromanaging recruitment operations! What morons... and so are you!
fake news
just questionable Ukranian run Twitter channels
“Ghost of Kiev” comes to mind............
Heck, Remember The Maine! Yes, it did blow up, but not because of the Spanish on Cuba.
Yes, probably. I only hope that they very, very, very carefully verify this before they act, because once NATO responds, the probability of an exchange of nuclear weapons is higher than it's ever been.
East Ukrainian pollen makes allergy season a real bear.
IF Russia did indeed use chemical weapons in Ukraine, it will be equally true that Russia did NOT target Americans with those weapons, OR threaten this country with them.

What you say in the sentence above is certainly true and correct, as far as it goes. My question about it is....”are you saying that it is ok for America to let the largest country on earth, and with the most nuclear weapons on earth, just attack and murder tens of thousands of people via whatever means they have available to them including gas?
To me, that’s a little Neville Chamberlain like:
Arthur Neville Chamberlain was a British politician of the Conservative Party who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 1937 to May 1940. He is best known for his foreign policy of appeasement, and in particular for his signing of the Munich Agreement on 30 September 1938, ceding the German-speaking Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany led by Adolf Hitler.
***********************************************************
It’s a HARD question (what to do if chem weapons were used and worse, are continued to be used). Maybe the hardest ever. And, I’m not saying your wrong and I’m right.
But, boy oh boy, using gas on civilians in this war at this time with our half brain marxist President and a nutjob like Putin, we are in TROUBLE. Think about it, basically there are TWO nuclear RED Buttons that matter. The US’s and Russia’s and at this time in history both fingers on both red buttons are tied to demented and sick minds. Remember practicing by hiding under your desk. It was the face mask of our time.
Good example.
Do they call themselves Aozv? Because if so I don’t see what your problem is with what I posted.
If the story isn’t total BS, then its probably tear gas.
FWIS - US Marines used it in Iraq.
Its how you get hold-outs out of buildings without killing them or civilians. around them.
LOLOL!
“Soros, all democrats, Pelosi, Schumer, and all DUmmy posters are for Ukraine!”
The war takes the media’s cameras off the border crisis.
Well, if Great Britain and Nazi Germany had both had nuclear weapons, maybe folks would have a different view of ol' Neville - or maybe not.
A few facts are evident: the Russians are in Ukraine, and have demonstrated that their conventional forces are so incompetent, that they constitute no real threat to NATO. Russian nuclear forces, on the other hand, are and will continue to be a potential threat to NATO.
Ukraine is not a NATO-member State, and the US and NATO are not obligated to intervene militarily in Ukraine. If no direct intervention occurs, the war will very likely remain non-nuclear. If direct US and/or European military intervention occurs, the likelihood of escalation - including the possible use of nuclear weapons - increases. That is undeniably true, due to the involvement of multiple nuclear-armed combatants, heightened alert status, greater numbers of nuclear weapons removed from storage and/or deployed, potential 'accidental' use, 'launch on warning' events, etc.
In essence, the question is: should the US risk nuclear war by intervening directly in the Ukraine conflict?
A surprising number of Americans seem to be saying "yes", in part (I suspect) because their concept of war is limited to recent, relatively bloodless conflicts like American interventions in the Caribbean, the Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, etc. They simply do not comprehend the speed at which American casualties could mount, in even a limited nuclear conflict; we could lose one or more carrier battle groups in the first few minutes of a nuclear exchange (5,000-10,000 or more dead), with casualties likely exceeding six figures within hours, even if only tactical nukes are used. If ICBMs or SLBMs come into play, casualties would likely exceed a million dead the first day - again, even if the nuclear exchange is relatively limited.
Some of us with longer memories know that wars rarely go as planned; we know that casualties are not magically limited by wishful thinking, or simplistic assumptions. Some would therefore suggest "no", the US should not intervene, because this country has no vital interests in Ukraine. With few or no vital interests at stake, risking nuclear war (and potentially millions of American casualties) is not justifiable.
(IMHO, YMMV, etc. ;>)
wasn’t any joke about explosion in mykolaiv
