President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that no one in Ukraine has developed any weapons of mass destruction.

"I am an adequate person. The president of an adequate country and an adequate people. And the father of two children. And no chemical or any other weapons of mass destruction have been developed on my land. The whole world knows this. YOU know this," he said on Thursday evening in a video message addressing the invaders.

At the same time, Zelensky noted that he was very concerned about the accusations of Ukraine by the Russian media. "This worries me very much, because more than once we were convinced: if you want to know about Russia's plans, look at what Russia accuses others of. Look, the dispersal of such accusations in the Russian media shows that it is THEY who are capable of this. The Russian military, the Russian special services. It shows that they want it," he said.

"What are these accusations of preparing chemical attacks? You decided to 'de-chemicalize' Ukraine? With ammonia? Phosphorus? What else have you prepared for us? Where will you hit with chemical weapons? At the maternity hospital in Mariupol? Or – at laboratories, most of which have been left since Soviet times and are engaged in ordinary science. Ordinary! AND NOT military technologies," Zelensky said.
