Russia has carried out over 11,000 chemical attacks in Ukraine: data from the OPCW

The global non-proliferation system, which is the foundation of global security and stability, is under threat due to the use of chemical substances by the Russian Federation as a tool of warfare.

Between February 2023 and November 2025, Ukraine recorded 11,299 cases of Russia's use of munitions with hazardous chemical substances.

Ukrainian authorities systematically collect and document evidence of such violations by Russia.

The international community is responding to these actions and imposing sanctions against the Russian Federation, contributing to accountability for violations of international law.
