- the General Staff reported, citing data from the Communications Department of the AFU Support Forces Command.

As noted, along with conventional firepower, the enemy uses "ammunition loaded with hazardous chemicals, such as K-51 and RG-VO, which are riot control agents and are prohibited for use as weapons of war." It is also stated that there is a significant share of ammunition containing hazardous chemical compounds of unspecified type.
