United States declared Russia as a chemical weapon user in Ukraine and imposed new sanctions

The U.S. accused Russia of using chemical weapons in Ukraine and imposed new sanctions targeting nearly 300 entities supporting Russia's military capabilities.

USA held Russia accountable for the use of chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops, and their actions brought the Chemical Weapons Convention into question. It imposed new sanctions against Russia to disrupt its military capabilities and to put an end to the invasion.

A statement by the U.S. State Department claims that chloropicrin and tear gas, chemical, and riot control agents respectively, have been employed by Russia for "means of conducting hostilities" in Ukraine. The Russian side has already been engaged in intensive rhetorical rhetoric, but now it has reached its peak.

"Tactical use of chemical weapons is not an isolated case (as it might appear) and, more likely than not, it is done in order to pass through the fortified positions of Ukrainian soldiers and make advancement in the battlefield", the statement in the factsheet by the State Department said.

Russia continually receives warnings from the USA that the use of outlawed ammo in Ukraine is not acceptable. Russia claims that there are no chemical weapons involved or applied and she is now under pressure for the disclosure of transparency. Chloropicrin, an agent used in wars, is injurious to inhalation if inhaled.

Apart from the chemical weapons accusations, the US Treasury has placed wide-ranging sanctions on entities around 300 from Russia, China, and other countries that they claim support the war effort of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The aim of those sanctions is to obstruct the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation and its purchasing system.

"Sanctions are being meted out to stop the Russian military-industrial base and supply networks. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen has confirmed it."

The most recent approaches taken by the US and its allies are joint actions that have the aim of raising the bill of Russia for its long war in Ukraine. They arrived in Ukraine only a week after President Joe Biden approved the bill, which granted Ukraine $37 billion in military, economic, and humanitarian aid.
