The UN says it has no record of biological weapons in Ukraine, as Russia says

The The UN assured this Wednesday that it has no evidence of the existence of illegal chemical and biological weapons programs in Ukraine.as the Russian Government has denounced.

Asked about it, spokesman Stéphane Dujarric told reporters that the organization has no information to confirm these Russian accusations.

In addition, he pointed out that the The World Health Organization (WHO), which has been working directly with the Ukrainian government, is not aware of any activity on the part of Kiev “that is inconsistent with its obligations under international treaties, including on chemical or biological weapons.”

In recent days, the Russian Government has assured that its Army has discovered evidence of an “emergency elimination” of traces in Ukraine, something that points to the existence of an alleged biological-military program developed in Ukraine and financed, according to Moscow, by United States.

The Russian Ministry of Defense spokesman, Igor Konashenkov, assured that employees of these biological laboratories allegedly reported the destruction on February 24 of particularly dangerous pathogens such as plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera and other deadly diseases.

Chinese accusation

China also accuses the United States of running “dangerous” biological laboratories in Ukraine after the Kremlin accused the Pentagon of conducting research on the Black Death, anthrax and rabbit fever to try to strengthen support for Vladimir Putin in the invasion. to Ukraine.

“American biological laboratories in Ukraine have drawn a lot of attention recently,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters.

“All dangerous pathogens in Ukraine must be stored in these laboratories and all research activities are directed by the US side,” he added without providing evidence to the alleged US-run bio-labs.

Chinese diplomats used similar diversionary tactics last year as questions about the origins of COVID-19 mounted.

At the time, China pointed to Fort Detrick, a US military installation in Maryland, as the source of the virus that led to the two-year-old pandemic.

The Soviet Union falsely claimed in the 1980s that the same facility was the source of the virus that caused AIDS. Zhao also mentioned the facility on Tuesday.

The new accusations from China come as Russia already accused earlier this week that the United States is using Ukraine to conduct illegal biological weapons research on deadly diseases. “The United States, as the party that knows the labs best,” Zhao said, “should release specific information as soon as possible, including the viruses stored and the research carried out.” (I)
