The Soviets listed no chemical weapons storage facilities outside what is now Russian territory in the data they exchanged under Phase I of the 1989 Memorandum of Understanding. (See “What is the bilateral Memorandum of Understanding?” in the Related Arms Control Agreements section.) Most analysts do not believe that former Soviet states other than Russia possess chemical weapons.
