Russian President says principles of prohibition of biological and toxin weapons have been violated. Russia considers the military-biological activity of the West in the post-Soviet space as a threat to its national security. The US Department of Energy was recruiting specialists in Ukraine with experience and knowledge in the field of weapons of mass destruction, Russian officials said. The conference was organized by the International Scientific and Practical Conference "Global Threats to Biosafety. Problems and solutions", hosted by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to the Russian military, there is "overwhelming" evidence that the United States is making bioweapons components in Ukraine. The commander of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Forces told the State Duma on Tuesday that the U.S. is using Ukraine to make these weapons.
