DISINFO: NATO was instructed to blame Russia for chemical weapons in Ukraine
SUMMARY
CIA chief committed to inform Trump about the use of chemical weapons in Ukraine, so he may have to point to themselves. NATO received instructions to blame Moscow of violations of the Convention on Chemical Weapons by any mean at hand. They operate under a simple scheme: false flag operations, fake stories through controlled media. Or they simply hide under the universal formula of ‘according to our special services’, but actually rely on fake data provided by the Kyiv regime.
RESPONSE
This disinformation story is a direct reaction to credible reports in late June 2025 by the German and Dutch intelligence services on the growing use of banned chemical weapons by Russia in the battlefield in Ukraine. In the same dates, Ukraine claimed to have documented 888 cases of use of munitions containing dangerous chemical compounds only in May 2025, while the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) confirmed the presence of toxic chemical C2 in at least one spot of the frontline, which Ukrainian authorities described as irrefutable evidence of Russia’s violations of the Chemical Weapons Convention.
The timing suggests that this is an attempt to manipulate the information space by mirroring the accusations without actual evidence, which is a frequent pro-Kremlin disinformation technique.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the West ignores evidence of Ukrainian Armed Forces use of chemical weapons, that Ukraine uses chemical weapons without control, that Ukrainian forces have almost certainly received chemical weapons from NATO and are testing them, that the West is preparing a provocation to accuse Russia of using chemical weapons, or that Ukraine's use of chemical weapons shows the politicisation of OPCW.
