The use of tear gas is banned by the international Chemical Weapons Convention (which Russia signed) and considered a chemical weapon if applied by military forces during warfare. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2023/12/29/what-we-know-about-russian-chemical-weapon-attacks/ https://thebulletin.org/2024/03/russia-appears-to-be-using-chemical-weapons-in-ukraine-and-admitting-it/ https://svidomi.in.ua/en/page/russia-has-launched-465-chemical-attacks-since-the-start-of-the-full-scale-invasion
