🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 What's General Kirillov, who was killed in Moscow and regularly talked about combat mosquitoes, biolabs and a “dirty bomb,” known for?

📌🇬🇧In October, the #UK imposed sanctions against Kirillov in connection with accusations of using chemical weapons in #Ukraine.

📌🇺🇦 The day before the explosion, Ukraine charged Kirillov in absentia with using banned chemical weapons during Russia's war against Ukraine.
According to the SBU, #Russia has used chemical weapons more than 4,800 times since the start of the invasion, — BSSI

In particular, we are talking about the K-1 combat grenades, which are equipped with toxic irritant substances — CS and CN. Their use is prohibited by the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Use of Chemical Weapons of 13.01.1993.
The Russian Armed Forces use ammunition with toxic substances, dropping them from FPV drones. When grenades with a chemical charge are activated, their toxic compounds affect the human mucous membranes, primarily the eyes and respiratory tract.

📌🇺🇸 Earlier this year, the #US State Department also confirmed that Russian troops had used the chemical warfare agent chloropicrin in Ukraine, after which it imposed new sanctions on more than 280 Russian individuals and legal entities, — BILD

"Kirillov was a war criminal and a completely legitimate target, as he gave orders to use banned chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops. Such an inglorious end awaits all who kill Ukrainians. Retribution for war crimes is inevitable,"

a source in the SBU told the BBC

📌Kiev has not yet officially commented on the death of the Russian general
