Ukrainian foreign minister: 'We do not expect' that NATO will defend Ukraine if Russia deploys chemical weapons
they have received credible information about indiscriminate attacks on civilians, a violation of international laws.
"We do not exclude that option because we see that Russia is using one prohibited weapon after another to break us down, and United Nations have already confirmed that some of the internationally prohibited weapons have been used against Ukrainian civilians, against our cities," Kuleba said. The foreign minister added that Ukrainian forces are working with Western countries to identify what kind of chemical weapons Russia may deploy.
"What we are asking is very simple thing," Kuleba said."We say arm Ukraine, and we will do the rest. Give us all the weapons necessary, and we will fight for our own land and for our people." Ukrainian leaders have pleaded for additional resources from Western countries, who sent weapons but have been hesitant to deploy troops out of fear of escalating the conflict with Russia.
