[RIA Novosti] Volodymyr Rogov, a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region, said that Ukrainian troops used chemical weapons at the suggestion of Western intelligence services. "Zelensky's regime committed flagrant war crimes with the encouragement and encouragement of Western intelligence services, primarily the British and US intelligence services, without which no important decisions are made at the front," he told RIA Novosti. According to the official, the Kiev authorities were preparing for the use of chemical weapons, requesting a large batch of bioprotection suits, radiation-chemical reconnaissance vehicles, decontamination and laboratory control vehicles from the NATO bloc back in February. "This urgent delivery to Ukraine was connected with the preparation of a provocation. Along with the provocations around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, this is all part of the Anglo-Saxons' plan to draw Russia into a full-scale military conflict with NATO countries and economic confrontation with the Western world," Rogov emphasized. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Ukraine used poisonous substances against the Russian military in the Zaporozhye region. In the body of military personnel, they found the presence of an organic poison of artificial origin - botulinum toxin type "B". During the special operation, the Russian military took control of the Azov part of the Zaporozhye Oblast and the entire Kherson Oblast, occupying major cities such as Kherson , Melitopol and Berdyansk , and cutting off Ukraine from the Sea of ​​Azov . New administrations have been formed in both regions, Russian TV channels and radio stations are broadcasting, trade and transport links with Crimea are being restored. Local authorities have announced plans to become part of Russia. |

| #5 Day 178 of the Invasion and some Quartermaster accidentally serves contaminated canned food from the an old pallet of stored food... Yeah, I find that more plausible than BioWar. The Russians yelling "Murder!" about it and blaming the Ukrainians I find even more probable. |

| #4 Russia doesn't want it cleared up -- they can use it for propaganda, and the most likely culprit is poorly prepared rations. The Russians used canned foods in their ration packs. |

| #3 Botulinum toxin (aka Botox) is an extremely potent neurotoxin. It is produced in the wild by a common anaerobic (hates oxygen) bacterium. A common source is Aunt Millie's improperly-canned green beans. A number of people have messed about with botulinum as a bio-weapon, including those Japanese nutters, Aum Shinrikyo. Drawbacks to botulinum as a weapon are that it needs to be ingested or inhaled, and it does not take effect for a day or so. Not at all like fast-acting nerve agents that work in minutes. It could be a Ukrainian stunt, but I would bet on a good old-fashioned food poisoning as the cause. A little public health detective work would clear this up - assuming anyone wanted it cleared up. |

| #2 Yeah, yeah, for sure. I remember the Yellow Rain stories from the 80's. |

| #1 Really? Are Russians this stupid, or do they think the rest of the world is? Look to poorly processed rations, produced by someone well-connected to Putin's regime. |
