  • Blinken: We Cannot Confirm the Use of Chemical Weapons in Ukraine

    April 12, 2022

    Margaret E. Kosal, an associate professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was interviewed for the article, 'Blinken: We Cannot Confirm the Use of Chemical Weapons in Ukraine' which was published on April 12, 2022 on Voice of America.

    An excerpt:

    First of all, you need to get evidence. One type of weapon that could conceivably have been used, and which is often used in urban warfare, is white phosphorus. White phosphorus is not a chemical weapon. It is used primarily as a smoke generating agent, which can also be used as a military incendiary. Phosphorus can cause burns and harm people if used accidentally or intentionally. It does not apply to chemical weapons, but falls under the existing ban on the use of indiscriminate weapons against civilians. And this, in any case, qualifies as a war crime,’ says Kosal.

    What Putin wants is to turn back the clock, he wants to go back to a society where democracy as a social regime did not exist. It's not just about political democracy or elections, it's the idea that people should be prisoners, not have freedoms, not be free to change their professions, to move. It is the idea of going back to serfdom in a very deep way.

    Well, I think that the way they use this particular missile in this conflict - it really is just that they're trying to make a statement. They've had no real tactical effect on the battlefield that any other missile - you know, we have sort of stopped tracking it, but we're well over 900 missiles fired so far in this conflict. And one more really is not a tactical effect on the battlefield. I think they're just trying to get the world's attention that we're willing to escalate this business here.
