Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova: It was Germany rather than the OPCW Technical Secretariat who hurried to explain the date – August 20, 2020 – as a technical error allegedly made during the drafting of the report. As if it was drafted by Germany rather than the OPCW. Maybe this is how it really happened?

Официальный представитель МИД России Мария Захарова: Вместо Технического секретариата [ОЗХО] германская сторона поспешила объяснить "откровение" насчет даты 20 августа 2020 г. технической ошибкой, якобы допущенной по недосмотру в процессе подготовки доклада. Как будто доклад готовила Германия, а не ОЗХО. Может, так и было?

🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on yet another anti-Russia provocation by NATO countries and their allies at the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons

💬 Regrettably, we have to note that the Euro-Atlantic allies, led by the US, have instigated yet another round of unrestrained politicisation of the agenda of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (#OPCW).

On October 9, the OPCW Technical Secretariat forwarded a note to Russia’s Permanent Mission to the OPCW from the German diplomatic mission on behalf of Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the USA, with a demand for explanations, under paragraph 2 of Article 9 of the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (CWC), on the alleged use of riot control agents by the Russian military during the special military operation.

✉️In the coming days, Russia will send a sufficiently illustrative material to the OPCW Technical Secretariat for transfer to the above-mentioned concerned NATO countries and their Japanese ally, containing evidence of a number of failed provocations by the Kiev regime, with the use of toxic chemicals and toxic substances, including riot control agents, with the aim of blaming the Armed Forces of Russia for these crimes. The material can be found here.

As recently as October 6, Director-General of the OPCW Technical Secretariat Fernando Arias was personally provided with a report on the results of analysing the samples that Russian servicemen had taken in the vicinity of Rabotino, in extremely difficult conditions of hostilities, proving that Ukrainian militants and foreign mercenaries had used chemical agents from CWC Schedule 3, in violation of the Convention.

❗️ Russia, together with its partners and like-minded countries, will continue to make efforts to counter the destructive activities of the Euro-Atlantic allies and their satellites, led by the US, for the sake of preserving the integrity of the CWC and restoring the credibility of the OPCW.
