The United States will hand over materials and equipment to Ukraine in case Russia decides to use chemical or biological weapons, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said .
“In an effort to help our Ukrainian partners, the US government is providing the Ukrainian government with rescue equipment and materials that could be used in the event of Russia's use of chemical or biological weapons,” she said when asked about gas supplies and other protective equipment.
Psaki reminded that the intelligence of the United States and other countries warned that Russia could prepare an operation “under someone else's flag” to use such weapons during the invasion of Ukraine.
Russia unequivocally accuses our country of allegedly using chemical weapons. According to experts, this may indicate that the aggressor is preparing to use these weapons.
