On May 27, 2023, in order to disrupt the counteroffensive actions of the Security and Defence Forces of Ukraine, the russian invaders began to implement a provocation with the use of chemical weapons in the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia region

Soldiers of the russian army will be the real victims of russian provocation. The aggressor state plans to use the traces of injuries from chemical weapons on their bodies as fake evidence to accuse Ukraine.

Defence Intelligence of Ukraine emphasises that the Security and Defence Forces of Ukraine use only conventional weapons during hostilities against russian troops, and other fakes made by russian special services are unable to influence the further course of events at the front line.
