“This makes me really worried, because we’ve been repeatedly convinced: if you want to know Russia’s plans, look at what Russia accuses others of [doing].”
“What are these allegations of preparing chemical attacks?” he continues.
“Have you decided to carry out ‘de-chemicalisation’ of Ukraine? Using ammonia? Using phosphorus? What else have you prepared for us?”
“No chemical or any other weapons of mass destruction were developed on my land,” he says.
In his address, he also said that 40,000 people were evacuated with the help of the Ukrainian government on Thursday, adding up to 100,000 in the past two days.
He said that Ukrainian forces had also managed to deliver vital aid, including food and medicine, to cities under attack.
But he added that Mariupol and nearby Volnovakha both “remain completely blocked”.
