The main delivery method is using unmanned aerial vehicles, mainly by dropping K-51 grenades and RG-Vo.

In total, the Defence Forces of Ukraine have documented 1,412 cases of usage of munitions equipped with dangerous chemical substances by the Russians within the period from February 2023 to March 2024.

Quote: "The enemy continues using ammunition that contains dangerous chemicals, thus violating the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction, as well as the laws and customs of the war.

Such actions by the Russian Federation become systematic, and the tendency to use chemical weapons keeps increasing."
