Film Review
Russian and OPCW (UN Commission on the Prohibition of Biological and Chemical Weapons) investigators have been collecting evidence surrounding 400 incidents of illegal chemical warfare by the Ukrainian army (on the battlefield and on civilians). Both violate international law. Investigators discovered numerous glass vials of chloropiricin in (formerly Ukraine-occupied) Ugedar, The vials were carried on drones, with the chloropiricin converting to phosgene when the drones crashed, breaking the vials and exposing the chloropiricin to the air.
Numerous Ukrainian refugees report Ukrainian troops sprayed toxic substances on their streets and in their basements. Symptoms they experienced included confusion, loss of bladder and bowel control and temporary paralysis.
OPCW investigators have also documented illegal Ukrainian use of BZ, CS, CR and other nerve agents on February 23, 2022.
The filmmakers also interview Russian troops attacked with chloropiricin (also delivered via drones) and the medic who treated them. Their symptoms included swelling, burning and blistering of their skin, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting and a sickly sweet taste in their mouth.
In Potavar, residents became ill after they spotted drones spraying a white powder over their homes. Their children were most severely affected, with weight loss, stomach cramps, vomiting, coughs, headaches, rashes and blisters on their skin and nose bleeds.
Investigators have also have videos Ukrainian troops posted on social media as they loaded glass vials onto drones prior to launching them.
In one attack, Russian troops bunkered in a basement were attacked with mustard gas. Those unable to escape died.
Russian troops also encounters high concentrations of cyanide in a chemical weapons production lab when they advanced into Ukrainian territory.
The filmmakers predict their use of illegal chemical weapons will lead to Zelensky and other Ukrainian leaders standing trial for war crimes in the International Criminal Court
