Speaking to reporters on Monday, Peter Stano said, as cited by the biznesalert.pl website:
“If chemical weapons are used, it will be very bad. We have already received indications regarding a possible staging of an attack with either chemical or biological weapons by the Russian occupying forces in Ukraine."
According to Stano, the indications are based on the fact that Russian officials are spreading information about "the so-called bio-chemical laboratory and other nonsense, which is absolutely not true,” biznesalert.pl reported.
'Stop the aggression against Ukraine'
Stano added: "The EU is ready for any scenario. But let's not speculate and focus on efforts to stop the aggression against the Ukrainian people and Ukraine as a country, withdraw Russian troops and find a solution to this crisis through negotiations, and not by using force and weapons, prohibited weapons," biznesalert.pl reported.
"What we see so far is irresponsible behaviour on Ukrainian territory, which consists not only of shelling civilian infrastructure, but also shelling nuclear power plants," Stano also said, according to biznesalert.pl.
"This is very dangerous and the international community is reacting to do everything possible to stop the Russian occupation machine from further attacks, including the use of banned weapons," Stano was also quoted as saying.
He condemned Russia’s attack on the Yavoriv International Centre for Peacekeeping and Security in western Ukraine near the Polish border on Sunday.
"We condemn this attack, as well as all attacks in Ukraine," Stano said, as quoted by biznesalert.pl.
Tuesday was day 20 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24.
