Stoltenberg on the possible use of chemical weapons

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated today that in the event that Russia uses chemical weapons against the Ukrainian people, that would be a blatant and brutal violation of international law.

"We know that Russia has previously used chemical agents in Europe against its political opponents," Stoltenberg told NBC News, warning that the Alliance will take this possibility extremely seriously.

Stoltenberg said this after the administration of US President Joseph Biden warned this month that Russia could use chemical weapons after the Russian Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine that it might plan to use such weapons for mass destruction.
