In spite of countless on-the-ground witness testimonies, Ukraine's recent claims and the US corroborating those, Russia has denied using chemical weapons in its offensive in Ukraine. We analyse if there's any chance that could be the real truth, what punishment there may be if it's not, and how to stop them using chemical weapons in the future.Also, why the general election of a tiny Pacific island nation, the Solomon Islands, has had the US, Australia and New Zealand worried, and does the outcome give China more or less influence there?The World in 10 is the Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.
