U.S. concerned Russia could use chemical weapons in Ukraine

Biden administration officials have assessed that Russian President Vladimir Putin may use chemical weapons in Ukraine first before resorting to a nuclear confrontation with NATO if his troops continue to lose ground.

The concerns, according to six people with knowledge of the matter, come amid a push by the administration to ensure allies are prepared for such an event, as well as to mobilize new resources and investments in manufacturing of detection systems for when the chemicals are used. The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive, internal deliberations, include U.S. and Defense Department officials.

We destroyed most of our chem weapons, in a treaty we signed with Russia, but the funny thing is, we had destroyed all of ours, and they have yet to destroy any. I worked for the Demilitarization project (CSEPP) to get rid of all of our old, and unstable munitions for 15 years. Not one accident for hundreds of thousands of munitions.

There are more than 200 substations in Ukraine, and if we take 3-4 missiles arriving at the TLC / HPP, then the missile strikes reached the target almost 250 times. At the same time, according to official information, only 70 times our air defense could not cope with missile strikes.

Russia damaged almost all thermal power plants and large hydroelectric power plants in Ukraine during massive strikes, Ukrenergo head Volodymyr Kudrytsky said, Interfax reports.

“After the last attack, we practically did not have intact thermal and hydroelectric power plants. That is, in order for you to understand the scale and what we have to work with, almost all thermal and hydropower generation, if we are talking about large objects, were subjected to missile strikes” , Kudritsky said.

He also added that there were almost no undamaged nodal substations left”

“That is, something arrived at every important substation, and at some several times, three, five and even eight times. Therefore, the scale of destruction is colossal,” he said.

Here is such an interesting imbalance between the official figures and the real situation. Bankova continues to create the illusion of a stable situation so as not to sow panic, but the problem is that power engineers are warning of a blackout that will cause a shutdown of the entire energy system of the country.

The Office of the President continues to create the illusion of successful work of our air defense, but this allows Western partners to slow down assistance. If we declare the high effectiveness of air defense, then what is the point of asking for help? On Bankovaya, they themselves allow NATO to ignore our requests, which leads to the destruction of critical infrastructure.

Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny publishes a calculation of shelling. According to him, today Russia has made 67 launches of air-launched (Kh-101/Kh-555) and sea-based cruise missiles (Caliber).

“51 cruise missiles were destroyed, as well as 5 kamikaze drones of the Lancet type. Only in Kyiv, 30 missiles were fired, 20 were destroyed,” Zaluzny added.

He stated that the Ukrainian military repel attacks “in the face of a constant shortage of weapons, equipment, ammunition.”

Resident
Power engineers are doing the impossible and are trying to restore power to cities by switching flows to backup substations. Most of the regional centers will receive electricity by morning, now at the Bank meeting, at which they will decide how to respond further to missile attacks on critical infrastructure.

If their chemical suits are in as good a shape as the rest of their gear, a lot of their troops will be doing the novichok boogie.

Every ominous WMD prediction planted by our completely politically compromised “ intel’ community…in the media…is actually foreshadowing a false flag or hints of what the Ukes may plan to do…blaming Russia, of course

Like targeting industrial chemical facilities to create a humanitarian disaster

By the Kiev regime doing its mighty best to shell and crack a nuc waste storage container and create a radiation disaster in its own country and neighboring countries

Psychopaths both deny and enjoy uses of chemical weapons as much as uses of other terrorist methods (missile strikes focused on civilian power plants and water facilities, torture of civilians, flaccid nuclear threats, etc.).

They were useless as designed. And yes, they'll be twitching and croaking.

Are they going to dig up Colin Bowel to convince us to send troops?

Of course, I hope and pray those “six people” are wrong.
