UK's warning

In the face of the rapidly escalating Russian agression, the British Defence Ministry has warned on Twitter that Russia might use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine in response to a staged attack on Russian troops.

"Such an operation could take the form of a faked attack, a staged 'discovery' of agents or munitions or fabricated evidence of alleged Ukrainian planning to use such weapons."
