Potential and real dangers of the chemical warfare agents use during the full-scale invasion into Ukraine.

Objective: Aim: To analyze modern threats of the use of chemical warfare agents on the line of contact during the full-scale invasion into Ukraine.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The study was carried out with the use of theoretical methods (information retrieval, analytical, descriptive, generalization, system analysis and information synthesis) and the construction of trends with the identification of the coefficient of determination.

Results: Results: Most of damage cases of the military men of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were caused by the enemy's use of such groups of chemical warfare agents with an irritating effect as lacrimators and sternites, more specifically K-51 grenades with chloropicrin (PS) and 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS), RGR grenade with 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS) and RG-Vo (862-3-23) grenades with chloroacetophenone (CN).

Conclusion: Conclusions: 2698 cases of damage by chemical warfare agents of irritant action were detected among the military men of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and every month during 2024, more and more injuries were detected among the military men of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (715 cases in May 2024 compared to 444 cases in April 2024), which indicates that a stable upward trend towards a wider trend is emerging deliberate use of chemical warfare agents, the coefficient of determination of R2 of which was high and amounted to 0,9577, and which continues to grow steadily.
