ukrainians themselves have the expertise. the nato countries have been supplying them with protective equipment, decontamination equipment and forensic equipment so they will have an autonomous capability but it will also be activating the organisation for the prevention of chemical weapons in the hague, under the un chemical weapons treaty which really has the international standard for conducting these investigations, like in syria, and presenting the facts. so it is gathering the evidence very quickly. if people have been injured they will be in hospital and medical treatment can be useful, as in syria, in ascertaining the use of chemical weapons. the idea of keeping the opcw in the loop is it helps to continue much to build credibility, not propaganda but facts, but also the overall support
look like it so far and there are a number of possibilities of what it could be so we need to keep quite an open mind and be cautious about jumping to any conclusions at this point. jumping to any conclusions at this oint. , . ., , jumping to any conclusions at this oint. , . ~ , , point. very quickly, if it is proven. point. very quickly, if it is proven. can point. very quickly, if it is proven, can we point. very quickly, if it is proven, can we look - point. very quickly, if it is proven, can we look back| point. very quickly, if it is - proven, can we look back into the past to see how and what past actions have been taken when something like this has been proven? what options are on the table? thea;r what options are on the table? they were used in what options are on the table? they were used in syria, what options are on the table? they were used in syria, not what options are on the table? iie: were used in syria, not by what options are on the table? iie: were us
will be decided on, but more weaponry has been going to ukraine in the last few days, heavier, longer range and more sophisticated weapons. more training could be part of the package. we have looked at the war crimes suspect, we can look at further economic sanctions. more help to the ukrainians with protective and decontamination equipment which i mentioned too. there might be options to interfere with the russian chain of command when it comes to their ability to carry out these attacks in the future through cover or other measures. i don t know ultimately what will be decided, all i can say is that as nato countries have said they will make a forceful response, they will make a forceful response, they had to make that. to my mind it would be a calamity to repeat what happens with the obama administration in syria a few years back when i forceful response was promised eight assad used chemical
power, with nature armed forces, so it is in a different category. i m not saying they re a lot military options which could be on the table, i have mentioned covert operations and so on. i m sure when the allies say all options on the table they have been looking up the full panoply of what can be done and i imagine a response which contain a variety of different things like ratcheting up economic sanctions or weapons to ukraine. so i don t know is the answer of what exactly that would be, buti is the answer of what exactly that would be, but i know everybody recognises that the failure to respond in syria a few years back such as back in being a signal to dictators that they could break international law with impunity, so having separable be a forceful response, there has to be. we shall see what happens, response, there has to be. we shall see what happens, thank response, there has to be. we shall see what happens, thank you - response, there has to be. we shall see what happens
weapons, he did so and that response was not delivered, that such as back several years, full response has been promised but i don t know what it will be yet. in been promised but i don t know what it will be yet- it will be yet. in the last hour i asked a guest, it will be yet. in the last hour i asked a guest, comparing - it will be yet. in the last hour i | asked a guest, comparing what it will be yet. in the last hour i - asked a guest, comparing what we see now and the possible reaction that could be taken to what was done in syria when chemical weapons were time to have been used, and some of the western allies actually launched cruise missiles targeting the sites where, for example, planes were taking off that were carrying the chemicals or where they were stored, i m talking about france, the uk, the us. can you see that happening again? i the us. can you see that happening auain? .., the us. can you see that happening auain? , ., again? i can see in the case of another assa
