“Now that these false claims have been made, we must remain vigilant becauseIt is possible to make it your own RussiaThis fabrication of lies allows you to plan chemical weapon operations. That would be a war crime,” Stoltenberg said. Stoltenberg stated that even though the Ukrainian people are resisting the Russian invasion with courage, the next days will likely bring more difficulties.
