**Why even entertain this possibility?**

**Because I’d already entertained the idea of a desperate move.**

> LONDON, January 14. /TASS/. **Ukraine may be preparing to use chemical weapons against Russian troops,** the Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom said on Twitter, commenting on a video made by Ukrainian servicemen earlier.
> 
> ***“A video published by Ukrainian military apparently shows them preparing to use chemical weapons, possibly `<a data-id="https://emergency.cdc.gov/agent/phosgene/basics/facts.asp" data-type="URL" href="https://emergency.cdc.gov/agent/phosgene/basics/facts.asp">phosgene</a>`, prohibited by UN CWC \[Chemical Weapons Convention\], against Russian military,” the embassy said, posting the video.***
> 
> ***“Letters “OB” stand for toxic munition. This also explains why the gas cylinders need to be stored in the fridge,”*** Russian diplomats added.
> 
> According to the video, ***Ukrainian servicemen were planning to install those cylinders on strike drones.***

**If the Ukrainians do use phosgene they can always claim it as an accidental release… An industrial accident of some sorts.**
