The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine prepared the project of appeal to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons because of the chemical emission in Crimea and would send it after gathering evidence. Minister of Foreign Affairs Pavlo Klimkin claimed this, as Ukrainian News report.
‘We have a prepared draft but we will refer it when we get all evidence. As of today, we don’t have clear evidence regarding the chemical weapon. No doubt, if we don’t provide any evidence, then Russia will use it against us and will try to represent it as a deliberate provocation. Nevertheless, we contacted the secretariat, as soon as we get the evidence – will use them,’ Klimkin noted.
He added that in the absence of adequate evidence, Russia justifies the current situation in Armyansk by the absence of water supply to Crimea.
As we reported, an unknown substance was discharged in the air in Armyansk, North Crimea. A greasy mud with a yellow shade appeared on metallic objects, roofs, and leaves on the trees.
Later, Sergey Aksyonov, “head” of the annexed Crimea claimed that the situation with the discharge of the unknown substance in the air goes beyond the norms.
Moreover, toxic chemicals were detected in the air in the Kherson region, southern Ukraine.
Refat Chubarov, Chairman of the Crimean Tatars’ Mejlis claimed that the evacuation of the children due to the emission of the unknown substance has begun in Armyansk.
