“The occupiers are actively using chemical weapons against the Ukrainian military. During artillery shelling, the Rashists use the chemical agent Lewisite. Symptoms of poisoning: nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness. There are already victims of it,” said Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi, spokesman for the Defense Forces of the Tavrya region.

Lewisite is a derivative of the chemical element arsenic and belongs to persistent poisonous substances.

The Chemical Weapons Convention in 1993 banned its use for military purposes.
