In Russia they destroyed the last of the ammunition with chemical warfare agents.
For more than 20 years Russia systematically engaged in the destruction of munitions containing toxic substances. The process began in 90 years, despite difficult economic conditions. The destruction of the munitions was the result of bilateral agreements between Russia and the United States, according to which both countries are committed to destroy their arsenals threat. And, above all, poisons are very dangerous for the countries themselves, where they are stored.
As stated by Vladimir Putin at a meeting devoted to this event, the Arsenal of the Soviet reserves S would be enough to several times destroy all life on Earth. Although the plans to complete the destruction was to happen in 2020, but Russia has sought to accelerate the process, unlike the US, where three times postponed the complete destruction of chemical agents, citing a lack of budgetary funds. Agree, a strange assertion from "richest" countries.
The meeting was told that all 5 objects created for the destruction of munitions with otravlenie substances will be used, and further, for the manufacture of pharmaceutical and chemical products, propellants. In connection with these economic development Minister Denis Manturov said that will be closed the Kazan gunpowder factory, located almost in the centre of Kazan.
