Russia accuses the US of funding biological weapons research in Ukraine

According to him, Moscow recovered “documents sent by employees of Ukrainian laboratories”, evoking “the transfer of human biomaterials collected in Ukraine to foreign countries at the request of US representatives”.

Konashenkov also cited a “American project for the transfer of pathogens by migratory wild birds between Ukraine and Russia and other neighboring countries”.

The spokesman said the United States planned to “carry out work on pathogens of birds, bats and reptiles in Ukraine in 2022”, as well as the “possibility of spreading African swine fever and anthrax”.

“In the established and funded laboratories in Ukraine, these documents show that experiments were carried out with bat coronavirus samples”Konashenkov said.

Both nations, which are in conflict and facing war, denied the existence of laboratories to produce biological weapons in this country, which has been facing an offensive since February 24 of tens of thousands of Russian soldiers.

Russia already accused the United States in 2018 of secretly carrying out biological experiments in a laboratory in Georgia, another former Soviet republic that, like Ukraine, aspires to enter the NATO and the European Union.

To justify its offensive, Moscow indicated that Ukraine wanted to equip itself with the nuclear weapon that it had voluntarily given up in the 1990s.
