The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has confirmed the presence of a toxic chemical substance in the fragments of a grenade recovered from the front lines in Ukraine. The investigation, conducted at Ukraine’s request, revealed traces of CS gas, a chemical irritant prohibited under international law when used as a weapon. During the investigation, OPCW experts collected evidence, including documentation, digital files, eyewitness accounts, and three physical samples—a grenade casing and two soil samples from a trench. These samples were analyzed independently by two OPCW-designated laboratories. The results were conclusive: the samples contained 2-Chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS gas), a substance banned under the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (CWC) when used as a method of warfare. The OPCW emphasized that its testing adhered strictly to its established procedures and was conducted under the observation of Ukraine’s permanent representatives at the OPCW.
