"We treat this with the utmost seriousness," Zelenskiy said late on Monday. He did not say chemical weapons had already been used.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that Russia could use chemical weapons in Ukraine and called on the West to impose strong sanctions on Moscow that would deter even talk of the use of such weapons.
There were unconfirmed reports on Monday suggesting that chemical weapons were used in the besieged southern Ukrainian port of Mariupol.
"We treat this with the utmost seriousness," Zelenskiy said late on Monday. He did not say chemical weapons had already been used.
"I would like to remind world leaders that the possible use of chemical weapons by the Russian military has already been discussed. And already at that time it meant that it was necessary to react to the Russian aggression much harsher and faster."
