[RIA Novosti] US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said that there are biological research facilities in Ukraine, Kyiv and Washington are now working to prevent materials accumulated there from falling into the hands of Russian forces.
| Good idea. Were they possibly Soviet, that is to say Russian, originally? |
During a Senate hearing, Nuland was asked if there were chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine.
“Ukraine has biological research facilities. We are concerned that Russian troops may try to take control of them, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how to prevent any of these research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces,” Nuland replied.
The Russian Ministry of Defense previously held a presentation from which it follows that the United States spent more than $ 200 million on the operation of biological laboratories in Ukraine, which participated in the American military biological program. The Russian Federation, in connection with the facts of US military biological activities in Ukraine, does not exclude the launch of a consultation mechanism under the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons (BTWC), Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. |
