DISINFO: Ukraine sold chemical weapons to Azerbaijan for the Karabakh War
SUMMARY
The Ukrainian government had sold and transferred phosphorus bombs to Azerbaijan to support the Azerbaijani army against Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
RESPONSE
An unfounded claim, presented without evidence.
The Ukrainian government denied that any chemical weapons had been transferred and/or sold to Baku. In addition, no pro-Kremlin disinformation actors put forward substantial evidence to back up their allegations about Ukraine.
The recently ended conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed border region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which both Baku and Yerevan claim to be theirs, was ended by a Russian-brokered peace treaty on November 10.
While Ukraine did not provide military support to Azerbaijan, the Ukrainian government has remained committed to the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
