Allegations of chemical weapons use: is Moscow 'out of ideas'? • FRANCE 24 English

The Kremlin has rejected allegations by the US that Russian forces had used a "chemical weapon" in Ukraine. According to the US State Department, Moscow has been turning to banned chemical weapons because its efforts to dislodge Ukrainian soldiers in trenches are being frustrated. Melinda Haring, Senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center, speaks to Jean-Emile Jammine.

Russia's strategic forces, long-range aviation, cyber capabilities, space capabilities, and capabilities in the electromagnetic spectrum have lost no capacity at all. The air force has lost some aircraft, but only about 10 percent of their fleet. - Us general Christopher G Cavoli (congress in Europe April 10 2024).
