“The cargo consisted of 16 sealed metal boxes, eight of which bore a chemical hazard sign, the inscription “BZ” and a marking with two red lines, which corresponds to the class of toxic substances with a temporary detoxifying effect. Five boxes bore the inscription “CS – RAYOT”, three – “CR – RAYOT” with a marking in the form of a single red stripe, which corresponds to irritating substances, “Kirillov clarified. “The cargo was placed on American-made armored vehicles, which, as part of the convoy, advanced to the line of contact.”On the night of February 19, 11 wagons of shell ammunition with special markings were unloaded in the suburbs of Kramatorsk. At the same time, the cars had the inscriptions “Building materials”, “Cement”.According to information available in the Russian Ministry of Defense, earlier, in the interests of the US ground forces, shells of shells equipped with ready-made submunitions containing liquid formulations of irritating substances were modernized.Kirillov said that the simultaneous delivery of toxic chemicals and means of protection against them indicated an attempt at large-scale provocations during the conflict in Ukraine using the military psychotropic toxic substance B-Zet.It causes acute psychosis, disorientation, hallucinations, memory impairment. The US military used this substance extensively during the Vietnam War.The general recalled that on February 22, during a conference on Ukraine, the former American ambassador to Russia, John Sullivan, said that “Russian troops plan to use chemical weapons in the area of ​​a special military operation”. This information was considered by the Russian Ministry of Defense as the intention of the United States itself and its accomplices to carry out a provocation in Ukraine with toxic chemicals.Moreover, its preparations are in full swing. In particular, it is already planned to supply Kiev with 55,000 protective kits, 55,000 gas masks and 13,000 individual anti-chemical packages.”Priority is given to antidotes for toxic organophosphate substances such as sarin and soman – 600,000 ampoules, anticonvulsants – 3 million tablets, preparations for the detoxification of mustard gas, lewisite and hydrocyanic acid derivatives of chloroacetophenone inhibitors – 750,000 vials”, Kirillov listed.
It is sure that in Washington and Kiev they expect that in the conditions of hostilities it will be impossible to organize an effective investigation into this provocation. Therefore, its organizers and performers will avoid any liability. And the blame for the use of a banned military psychotropic toxic substance will be placed on Russia.The toxic substance Bi-Zet causes acute psychosis, disorientation, hallucinations and memory impairment. US Army used it in Vietnam
Kirillov warned that stationary and mobile control systems deployed in the NMD area make it possible to quickly detect and respond to chemical threats. And the analytical capabilities of our laboratories ensure that not only the type of chemical used, but also the country of origin can be determined.
“The West is mistaken in counting on the successful implementation of provocations with toxic chemicals in the conditions of war,” the general said.He promised: in the event of such provocations, the real culprits would be identified and punished.On February 28, the Russian Defense Ministry also reported that on the night of Monday, February 27, Ukraine attempted to attack civilian infrastructure in the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea with strike drones.EW units suppressed both drones. They lost control and veered off course. One fell in the field. The other, due to the exit from the road, could not harm a civilian object.
