However, it is not possible to search the scene of the crime, because the Russians continue to shoot there, continuing to use tactics to hide their crimes.
Video available on social media shows the person in a satisfactory condition. The other two victims are under constant medical supervision. An elderly woman has the worst situation among the affected civilian population.
The main symptoms of the victims are facial hyperaemia, high blood pressure, dryness and inflammation of the lining of the eyes.
Arterial hyperaemia is an overflow of blood in an organ or area of tissue that results from the expansion of the arterioles and capillaries in the organ or tissue. A distinction is made between physiological and pathological hyperaemia.
Due to the complete blockade of Russian military force, a toxicological analysis is not possible. At the same time, the main task is to control the condition of the staff and the possible consequences of poisoning. Victims are provided with all possible medical assistance.
A spokesman for the “Azov” regiment says that despite the large-scale attacks in Mariupol, the widespread foreign interest in the situation has unfortunately only emerged from information about the use of chemical weapons.
