The US and Britain say they are looking into reports that chemical weapons have been used by Russian forces attacking the Ukrainian port of Mariupol.

The Azov battalion, which has been heavily involved in fighting in Mariupol and has strong ties to the far-right, wrote in a telegram post that Russian forces had dropped "a poisonous substance of unknown origin" during a drone attack at the city's large Azovstal metals plant.

UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said officials were working to "urgently" investigate what she called "a callous escalation" of the war.

UK Defence Minister James Heappey ruled nothing out in terms of a Western response if a chemical attack was confirmed.

The Pentagon called the potential use of the weapons "deeply concerning".

Last month US President Joe Biden said Nato "would respond" if Russia used chemical weapons in Ukraine.

NATO and the west clearly signalled what false flag was needed to escalate action against Russia and Ukrainian fascists have now provided that false flag.

It reminds me of that time 'Nayirah' told her lies about babies being bayoneted in incubators by Iraqis to gain support for America's Gulf War.

Colin Powell's lies before the UN to gain support for America's War on Iraq.

David Cameran's lies in Parliament that Islamic State were the good guys to gain support for regime change in Syria when they were the ones using chemical weapons.

But mostly the lie that Assad was using those chemical weapons which nearly dragged us all into World War II.
