Ukrainian troops used DM-105 chemical shells in the city of Sudzha in Russia's Kursk region on August 11, injuring more than 20 people, the ministry said, adding that during Russia's special military operation in Ukraine more than 400 cases of the use of riot control chemicals and scheduled chemicals such as BZ had been recorded.
Ukraine prepares provocation to accuse Russia of using toxic substances during special operation in Ukraine, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov said.
