Materials with fabricated evidence of Russian use of poisonous substances will be presented within the framework of the 107th session of the Executive Council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which begins on October 8, Igor Kirillov, head of Russia’s Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Troops, said. 

Other key statements by Igor Kirillov on the issue: 

▪️ Ukraine will hand over “evidence” of Russia’s use of toxic substances to OPCW representatives for them to draw up an “independent” report; 

▪️ In the event the provocation is successful, Ukraine intends to seek to deprive Russian representatives of their positions in the OPCW Technical Secretariat; 

▪️ The excessive supply of Ukraine with personal protective equipment is another indication of a forthcoming provocation accusing Russia of using toxic substances; 

▪️ The US is involved in the provocation being prepared by Kiev, as evidenced by a statement by a US representative at the OPCW; 

▪️ After Kiev’s provocation with the use of toxic substances, a decision will be made on disenfranchising Russia as a party to the Chemical Weapons Convention (prohibiting the use of chemical weapons); 

▪️ Another platform has been created on the basis of the OPCW that is controlled by the US and used to settle accounts with undesirable countries; 

▪️ Materials on Russia’s alleged use of toxic substances will be sent to the UN Security Council, as was done in the case of Syria.
