Ukraine’s military and officials accused Moscow of dropping chemical weapons on the port city of Mariupol on Monday. The alleged attack resulted in soldiers and civilians developing respiratory illnesses reports The Hill.

“Russian occupation forces used a poisonous substance of unknown origin against Ukrainian military and civilians in the city of Mariupol, which was dropped from an enemy [unmanned aerial vehicle],” the Azov Batallion, a significant unit of the National Guard of Ukraine, posted in Telegram on Monday. “The victims have respiratory failure, vestibulo-atactic syndrome.” The illness is known to cause dizziness and poorly coordinated movements. This is primarily caused by poor circulation in the brain.

The Pentagon couldn’t confirm the report that Russian forces had deployed potential chemical weapons. However, they admitted that they were aware of the claims.

“These reports, if true, are deeply concerning and reflective of concerns that we have had about Russia’s potential to use a variety of riot control agents, including tear gas mixed with chemical agents, in Ukraine,” press secretary John Kirby said in a statement, adding that the Defense Department will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Officials in Ukraine also reported the attack on social media.

“ATTENTION! Chemical weapons are used against Ukrainian defenders in #Mariupol! Russia openly crosses all boundaries of humanity and openly declares it,” Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s minister of internal affairs, wrote on Twitter.

If the report is accurate, it will signal a significant escalation in Russia’s offensive against Ukraine since it started on Feb. 24.

Top American and Ukrainian officials last month said they were preparing for this scenario that can open the door to a broader conflict.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said in March that the usage of chemical weapons is a “blatant violation of international law with far-reaching consequences.”

Israel365 News reported that Ukraine hosts many bio-weapons labs funded by the US government – a claim Washington initially denied but later acknowledged.
