Igor Kirillov: Notorious mouthpiece and man behind Russia's chemical weapons

Igor Kirillov, a key figure in Russia's military, has been identified as the head of the Russian Armed Forces' Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Troops.

His assertions have been part of a broader Russian strategy to deflect accusations of chemical weapon use by alleging that other nations are engaging in similar activities. Despite these claims, there is no evidence supporting his allegations, and they are largely seen as attempts to muddy the waters regarding Russia's own chemical weapons program, which has been a point of international concern and scrutiny.
