Russia-Ukraine War: Did Russia use chemical weapons in Ukraine? | Ground Report | ABP News

Ukraine forces holed up in the besieged city of Mariupol declared late Monday that the Russians had deployed "a deadly material of unknown origin" - but proof to confirm this was a chemical weapons attack became more difficult to come by in the ensuing 24 hours. Victims were characterized as experiencing "respiratory failure" and a somewhat precise diagnosis of "vestibulo-atactic syndrome," ostensibly inner-ear difficulties leading to dizziness and maybe vomiting, eye twitching, and loss of balance, according to a brief initial report circulating on social media.
