Kremlin dismisses U.S. call to destroy chemical weapons, says it has none
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Thursday dismissed as baseless and illogical U.S. calls for Russia to destroy its chemical weapons, saying that Moscow had destroyed them long ago in line with the Chemical Weapons Convention.
The U.S. State Department called on Moscow at a news briefing on Tuesday "to comply with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and to declare and destroy its chemical weapons program under international verification".
Washington announced sanctions that day on senior Russian government officials and Russian entities in response to what U.S. officials said was Moscow's attempt to kill Navalny with a nerve agent.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the State Department comment regarding chemical weapons.
