NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg said to a German paper that Russia is fabricating “lies” over bioweapon labs and itself “could plan chemical weapons operations.”

NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg said that Russia might use chemical
weapons following its incursion of Ukraine and that such a move
would be a war crime, according to an interview in the German
newspaper Welt am Sonntag.

“In recent days, we have heard absurd claims about chemical
and biological weapons laboratories,” Stoltenberg was quoted by
Welt am Sonntag as saying, adding that the Kremlin was inventing
false pretexts to justify what could not be justified.

“Now that these false claims have been made, we must remain
vigilant because it is possible that Russia itself could plan
chemical weapons operations under this fabrication of lies. That
would be a war crime,” Stoltenberg was quoted as saying.

He added that although the Ukrainian people were resisting
the Russian attack with courage, the coming days are likely to
bring even greater hardship.
