The video has been reviewed several times now, including by UN experts. Chemical weapons were not used.
Russia has stated chemical weapons were not used.
Russia has apologized to Ukraine for the false claim they were used.
is there any reason you are trying to contradict the Russian government?

So in other words you cannot support your position with facts, so you launch a personal attack, pack up your marbles, and leave.
Feel free at any time to learn and gather some facts to support your position and come back and share.
As has been stated time and again the cold war is over and Putin must learn to live with the fact that whatever he claims is not going to be taken as fact based solely on him stating it. By extensions you guys are in the same position. You guys love to make claims, refuse to supply sources, and then get pissed when people challenge you. If you go back and read the posts on this topic you will see Pro Putin people demanding others show respect for Putin while at the same time refusing the same to anyone else.
I am sorry if my facts don't support your propaganda.

People on the ground know the realities regarding any Russian help coming or not. Mere 3 tanks and old rifles will not stand for long against the whole army with heavy weapons. Worst only 20-25% of these weapons have been reported to be working when thrown into use.
Seriously you should stop because you know as well as the world the separatists have more than just some old rifles that don't work.
And the last pic came from this nice little article...
ria.ru...
Sorry you can't hide the truth.
The leaders of the "Donetsk People's Republic" claimed that self-defense forces in Mariupol came under a chemical attack when the City Council building was being stormed by Kyiv-controlled armed units.
“The defenders of the City Council have left the contaminated area. Many of them had their breathing systems damaged, which is likely to have consequences and probably be a danger to their lives,” the statement says.
Hide what truth? What are you rambling about? Have you never seen weapons before?
That last one, is that a truck with an AA gun slapped on it, or is that a Russian T-90 MBT?
None of those indicate any shred of evidence towards what you are imposing. You fail to understand that the world (as you put it) knows that Ukraine is a top global arms exporter, and most of the arms that they produce are small arms. Small arms based on Soviet designs. Russia was once in the USSR, you know.
You want to see some Russian tanks that the rebels are using? You should look at the IS-3 and T-54 tanks that the rebels fixed after sitting at museums for decades. The IS-2 /IS-3 was rolling through Berlin back in 1945.
Tell me why people should die for this cause? I want everyone to give me a reason why people should die?
Tell me why people should die for this cause? I want everyone to give me a reason why people should die? If thy are against the government should they die and is it ok to die for the cause? Tell me?
First chemical attack was carried out in Mariupol on May 6.
No confirmation of this information from other sources is available to Interfax-Ukraine.

So say the separatists.
Now the first link to the Kyiv Post states...
No confirmation of this information from other sources is available to Interfax-Ukraine.
www.kyivpost.com...
So the only source is the pro Russian separatists...Gotcha.
And the second one pretty much parrots the first one, so which of these is supposed to show proof that was done?
Yet you have never stated what sources you are willing to accept. In fact, you've denounced every source ever provided that does not agree with your opinion. So why do you act like your opinion is somehow superior to first hand account, video footage, and eastern mainstream and rebel media? What credentials do you hold to make such claims?
Everybody is criminal for USA (there is articles from USA that claims all are criminals), even the unborn children... Now we try to force all european governments, with all means / articles, petitions, emails, everything.
Because this agenda, must stop and I hope the kiev criminal acts, to be judged and billed with the war crimes they've done. Its not 1 or 2, if nobody believes articles, there are so many video footage.
If nothing happens, this thing will escalate, now Russia with all bricks will create a new world bank! You know that? Next week they sign the treatment and that is against USA world bank.. Now will have 2 world banks.. lol

Wow you really have a problem with someone asking questions don't you?
No, I don't agree with the crap that you and others are trying to portray as the truth from Russian media which has been shown to be lying and using old photos to back their claim on numerous occasions.
Interesting but my credentials are of none of your concern as I am not the topic of this thread.
And when did I say my opinion was superior to anyone elses on this site...I didn't so please quit trying to put words into my mouth.
July 9 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, Assistant Treasury Secretary Daniel Glaser, and Assistant Secretary of Defense Derek Chollet testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington about Russia and developments in Ukraine. (This is part one of the hearing. Source: Bloomberg)
Slowly clears up indignation and rage of Kurginyan, it seems, is the real cause. The armament of the new Russia were delivered: heavy weapons, effective weapons. But Strelkov constantly asserted that little, old, unusable. Gubarev is confirmed. Kurginyan, seems to have decided that they blatantly lie. And the answer is simply opens. All heavy weapons in Slavyansk in the end did not get. And settled in Donetsk, in the hands of Khodakovsky. He was taken away not just the best, and took away almost everything. In Slavyansk, where the weapons were actually needed, got crumbs. While Khodakovsky was useless, and periodically sent to slaughter people entrusted to him. Just because Khodakovsky so quickly escaped in Mariupol. It is not enough that a thief, he is constantly doing harm to Slavyansk, all done in order the city fell. I hope that Khodakovsky will be caught and hanged. Next to his current colleagues from the SBU and its owner Akhmetov.
