The use of poisonous substances in Mariupol fits into the “Syrian scheme”/The Drive
If the fact of the use of chemical weapons by the Russian army in Mariupol is confirmed, this will fully correspond to how the Russians acted in Syria.
This was stated by intelligence consultant Justin Crump in a comment to American journalists.
According to his observations, the Russian military can “start with small doses used in conflicting circumstances” to force the West to “turn a blind eye” to this. But subsequently, the “scale of use” of such weapons will increase significantly.
Pay attention!Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Hanna Malyar said that now there is an assumption that phosphorus ammunition was used in Mariupol. All details are being installed. However, the threat of Russia's use of chemical weapons in the war is high.
Justin Crump acknowledged that the situation with the use of chemical weapons in Mariupol looks rather ambiguous, because even the Ukrainian authorities said they were still investigating the incident. In Russia itself, they did not comment on it at all.
At the same time, the expert recalled that after the massive use of chemical weapons in Syria against the rebels, where the Russians supported government forces, they stated that they had “staged” a chemical attack .
