Russia has fully destroyed all chemical weapon stocks without any exception, Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov said on Wednesday.

"We have destroyed all the chemical weapons with no exception, which were created back at the time of the Soviet Union. And this work was completed in November 2017 by the official ceremony of destroying the last shell… That is why, we have no chemical weapons at all," Manturov said, replying to a question from reporters about whether Russia had stocks of Novichok nerve agent.
