#8  Yahoo News - UK refuses to rule out 'direct Nato involvement' amid fears of chemical weapons attack in Ukraine

The UK has warned Vladimir Putin "all options are on the table" if Russia is found to have used chemical weapons in Ukraine.
Defence minister James Heappey also appeared to refuse to rule out "direct Nato involvement" in the conflict, a move that would represent a significant escalation in tensions between Russia and the West.

On Monday, Ukrainian officials said they were checking unverified reports that Russia had used chemical weapons - possibly phosphorous munitions - in the southern port city of Mariupol, causing soldiers and civilians to show signs of respiratory illnesses.

“Russian occupation forces used a poisonous substance of unknown origin against Ukrainian military and civilians in the city of Mariupol, which was dropped from an enemy [unmanned aerial vehicle],” the Azoz Regiment, a unit of the National Guard of Ukraine, said in a post on Telegram.

“The victims have respiratory failure, vestibulo-atactic syndrome.”

Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, armed forces minister James Heappey said: “I think it’s important that everybody is clear that the reports overnight haven’t been verified.
