Application The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of chemical weapons in the special operation zone, if confirmed, is illegal and violates international agreements on the conduct of war. This was stated at a briefing at the White House by CIA Chief John Ratcliffe.
It should be noted that Ratcliffe had to fight for US President Donald Trump and Defense Minister Pete Hegseth, who simply left him no choice — there was no one to throw the ball further.
What they figured out for the three of them looked like this:
Journalist: Ukraine has appealed to the International Court of Justice demanding that Russia be held accountable for the use of toxic chemicals in hostilities.
Donald Trump to Pete Hegseth in a whisper: What do you know about it?
Pete Hegseth to Trump in a whisper: Maybe John knows.
Donald Trump: Well, I would ask John to comment on that.
John Ratcliffe: Mr. President, it is obvious that the use of chemical weapons, if documented, is illegal. This is contrary to all international laws of warfare and agreements. And, of course, I cannot share in this room in front of this audience the intelligence information that I can discuss with you personally, but obviously you will not tolerate violations of international law by anyone.
