Kyiv (
Ukraine
):
Today is the 49th day of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. Russia has intensified its offensive to seize the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Despite severe criticism at the international level, Russia is still not ready to back down from its military campaign against Ukraine.
Russia is constantly bombing Ukrainian military bases and residential areas.
However, despite being no match for Russia’s military might, Ukraine is still trying its best to fight the Russian Juggernaut.
As the Russian military enters major cities during its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, it is facing fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces in densely built urban areas.
Both sides have sustained heavy losses as intense fighting continues.
The Russian army has surrounded all the major cities in Ukraine. Big cities like Mariupol, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Odessa are facing daily barrages of missiles and bombs by Russian forces. Mariupol, surrounded by Russian forces for three weeks, has turned into ruins.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for the last 46 days. Several rounds of talks have also taken place between the two countries to end the war, but no solution has been found so far. Many countries are also making efforts from their side to end this war as soon as possible, but its result has not yet come out.
In this war, neither President Putin is backing down nor is the President of Ukraine ready to give up. Ukraine president Zelensky has said that his country will not compromise under the terms of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian military officials are currently verifying information about the use of chemical weapons by Russian forces in Mariupol.
“We are verifying this information and trying to understand what it was,” Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister Hannah Malier said during a national joint newscast. According to preliminary information, we can say that it is possible that this phosphorus may have been munitions.
He said that the official information would be finalized later. According to Ukrainska Pravda, Malier stressed that the risk of Russia deploying chemical weapons remains. On the evening of April 11 it was reported that Russian troops dropped a poisonous substance of unknown origin on Mariupol. The report said that according to Andrey Biletsky, leader of the Azov regiment, the Russian Federation military has deployed chemical weapons at the Azovstal plant, which is owned by Azov fighters.
Victims claim to have seen smoke
The Azov Regiment has claimed that the victims of a poisonous substance of unknown origin spread by the Russian army in Mariupol are in relatively satisfactory condition. Civilian contact with the substance was minimal, as the epicenter of the earthquake was at a certain distance from civilian areas and servicemen were somewhat closer from there. In a video released by the Azov Regiment, victims described seeing something like smoke or fog.
What were the main symptoms of the victims?
Ukrainska Pravda reported that the main symptoms of victims included flushing of the face, high blood pressure, dryness and irritation in the nasopharynx and mucous membranes of the eyes, tachycardia, tinnitus, shortness of breath and dizziness. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned on Monday that Russia could use chemical weapons against Ukraine. He called on Western countries to impose more stringent sanctions to prevent this possible attack.
