Brussels: On March 24, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that Russia might be trying to create a pretext for the use of chemical weapons in Ukraine by indicting the United States and its allies of preparing for such an attack. “We are concerned partly because we see the rhetoric and we see that Russia is trying to create some kind of pretext accusing Ukraine, the United States, and NATO allies of preparing to use chemical and biological weapons,” he told reporters after a NATO summit in Brussels. Any use of chemical weapons would have widespread consequences, he added.
