“If they (chemical weapons) are used, then (Russian) President Vladimir Putin should know that all possible options are on the table as to how the West might respond,” Harper told Sky News. Things are unacceptable, the use of chemical weapons will trigger a response, and all options are on the table as to what kind of response is possible.”

According to the “Newsweek” report, the Azov Battalion of the Ukrainian National Guard accused the Russian army of using drones to drop toxic substances made of unknown materials on Malibo’s troops and civilians, causing the victims to develop symptoms such as respiratory failure. Ukrainian lawmaker Solomiia Bobrovska called on Twitter: “President Biden and NATO have declared that if Russia uses chemical weapons, there will be a strong reaction, and now is the time to act.”
