THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Dutch and German intelligence agencies have gathered evidence of widespread Russian use of banned chemical weapons in Ukraine, including dropping a choking agent from drones to drive soldiers out of trenches so they can be shot, they said on Friday.
Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans called for tougher sanctions against Moscow.
"The main conclusion is that we can confirm Russia is intensifying its use of chemical weapons," he told Reuters.
"This intensification is concerning because it is part of a trend we have been observing for several years now, where Russia's use of chemical weapons in this war is becoming more normalized, standardized, and widespread."
Germany's BND foreign intelligence agency confirmed the findings, saying in a statement that it had obtained the evidence alongside its Dutch counterparts. Reuters was first to report on the intelligence.
The head of the Dutch Military Intelligence Agency (MIVD), Peter Reesink, said the conclusions followed "our own independent intelligence, so we have observed it ourselves based on our own investigations."
Reuters has not been able to independently verify the use of banned chemical substances by either side in the Ukraine war.

They aren’t the good guy and perhaps the most Insidious thing they’ve done is to be so incompetent that they cannot defeat Ukraine in more than 3 years. You can criticize what we did in Iraq but in terms of the war itself we won quickly and overwhelmingly which greatly reduced casualties on all sides.
The propaganda is flowing so thick, you need waders to get through it
Where’s the video? There was plenty of video where Ukrainian Nazis made themselves of using chemical weapons from drones on Russians. Apparently they were proud of gassing Russians. The entire world, including the Dutch were silent. Ukraine and their NATO puppetmasters aren’t the good guys either.
They want more money from the U.S. and now it’s chemical warfare with the EU rooting from the sidelines and not offering a damned thing.

Uke strategy of giving up more cities and villages paying off.
Who is?
We used white phosphorus bombs and napalm against the Germans.
Are we bad guys?
“Russia is not the good guy here, FRiends…”
Several here that think they are have already posted.
“We used white phosphorus bombs and napalm against the Germans.
Are we bad guys?”
You forgot to mention the two nuclear bombs we dropped on Japan.
There are no Nazis in Ukraine... haven’t been since 1945.
Yeah, that too.
I think we should bomb them again, so they know we aren’t sorry.
Exactly. America needs to stay out of it.
Neither is Ukraine. Like Russia, Ukraine has oppressed religious freedom. Christians fare very poorly and their government’s totally corrupt. Both actors in this war are bad guys. We should just let them punish each other.
You can't be serious. Japan is now an ally and probably the most cordial nation in the world.
We are always using chemical C6H2(NO2)3CH3 on the bad guys and we are going to keep useing it.
And refuse to pay for it.
Highly unlikely
NATO expanded to Russia's border. Russia didn't come to NATO.
We fomented an illegal coup in Ukraine that setoff a civil war that led to the present war. Russia didn't try anything like that in Mexico or on our borders.
Why? Because the globalist elite want to get their grubby hands on all the natural resources in Russia, just like they attempted to do in Ukraine, and because stirring up conflicts with Russia helps the money keep rolling into the defense industry.
Zeeptards like are a far greater danger to national security and world peace than the Russians.
