The founder of Ukraine’s Azov Battalion, Andriy Biletsky, accused Russian troops of using a chemical substance in Mariupol and injuring three people on the same day that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned about it in his daily speech.
For his part, President Zelensky stressed in a speech posted on his official website that a Russian spokesman declared that they could use chemical weapons against Mariupol, in view of which he recalled that “the use of chemical weapons by the Russian army has already been discussed with world leaders” and considered that “this moment means that it is necessary to react to Russian aggression in a much stronger and faster way”.
One of the first international reactions to the denunciation of the founder of the Azov Battalion, a neo-Nazi unit of the Ukrainian National Guard, was that of the British Foreign Minister, Elizabeth Truss, who assured in a tweet that the UK is investigating the incident.
