Russia Says US Must Disclose Biological Warfare Activities in Ukraine - Tasnim News Agency

(Tasnim) - The Russian Embassy in Washington said on Telegram that Moscow is requesting that the US disclose information about biological warfare activities in Ukraine as soon as possible.

The statement spotlighted the latest accusations by the US that said Russia allegedly violated the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons (BTWC).

Diplomats said "the arguments of the US don’t stand up to scrutiny," while Washington itself doesn’t comply with its international commitments under the mentioned agreements, Tass reported.

"During a special operation in Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry obtained evidence of creation of biological weapons components with the direct involvement of the Pentagon," the embassy said. "The funding by the US of biological warfare projects on the Ukrainian territory has been documented."

The US spent $32 million on the projects, the embassy said.
