Russia is increasingly deploying unidentified gas in its latest chemical warfare tactic against Ukrainian troops.

Ukraine is unable to identify the majority of the gas used on the battlefield, compared to previous months when it could diagnose about half of the chemicals.

Of the 323 recorded cases of Russia 's chemical attacks in October , nearly all except 15 incidents were "unidentified" The use of chemical agents, including tear gas, is a violation of the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention .

U.S. and U.K. have confirmed Russia ’s deployment of chemical weapons against Ukrainian soldiers.

OPCW said in May that Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of deploying chemical weapons, but “the information provided to the Organization so far by both sides, together with the information available to the Secretariat , is insufficiently substantiated” Expert: “ Russian forces are using chemical weapons on an industrial scale”.
