Russia has requested a meeting of the United Nations Security Council to investigate suspected US military biolabs in Ukraine.
The US invested upwards of $200 million on labs in Ukraine conducting dangerous biological activities. On Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed that these US-funded biological facilities in Ukraine were performing research with bat coronavirus samples.
The Russian Defense Ministry stated on Thursday that one of the objectives of the US funded biological research laboratories in Ukraine was the development of bioweapons having the capability of targeting specific ethnic groups.
It was the World Health Organization (WHO) advised Ukraine to destroy ‘high-threat pathogens’ in the country’s public health laboratories in order to prevent “any potential spills” that might infect the population during the Russian invasion.
According to CIA Director William Burns, Russia’s attack of Ukraine has fallen far short of Vladimir Putin’s expectations, and the Russian president is likely to increase military operations.
Since the first week of the Ukrainian conflict on February 24, NPP has been under Russian military control. But now, the data from Ukraine’s largest nuclear power plant has gone offline, as per IAEA reports.
A network comprised of some 30 bioweapons laboratories was formed in Ukraine, with the activities conducted in these labs being commissioned by the US Ministry of Defense, Russia’s Defense Ministry has announced.
Over the years, Russia has expressed alarm over US military-funded biowarfare labs in several of its neighboring countries. But since all of these cautions fell upon deaf ears, Russia is calling for a mandatory international treaty to ban bioweapons.
For years, Russia has been calling on Western nations to investigate cases of human rights abuse, illegal killings, and war crimes committed by the Ukrainian authorities that came to power after the 2014 coup. Moscow pointed out that many of them were committed by neo-Nazis against Russians or Russian-speaking people.
