> Russia’s permanent representative to the OPCW, Vladimir Tarabrin, said the organization was not rushing to send experts to Russia because they would inevitably receive data that, in his view, confirmed Ukrainian use of chemical weapons in the conflict zone. He said Moscow had formally requested a technical mission to help investigate the allegations.
