The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation provided evidence of US involvement in the activities of biological laboratories in Ukraine
MOSCOW, August 4/ Sputnik Radio. During the briefing, the head of the Radiation Chemical and Biological Protection Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, spoke about the next documentary evidence found during the special military operation of the involvement of the United States in the activities of biological laboratories in Ukraine.
According to him, the Labyrinth Ukraine company operated in Ukraine, a subsidiary of the American Labyrinth Global Health, its founders were ex-employees of Metabiota, a key Pentagon contractor in the field of US military biological activities.
As part of the US Department of Defense's biological threat reduction program, Labyrinth Global Health, among other things, studied coronaviruses, monkey pox viruses and African swine fever.
About the spread of viruses interesting to the Pentagon
There is a tendency that pathogens of infections that fall into the Pentagon's area of interest will later receive a pandemic spread, Kirillov said.
He recalled that on July 23, WHO declared the outbreak of smallpox monkeys an emergency of international importance. Today, the disease has been detected in 76 states, and the number of patients has exceeded 26 thousand.
According to the general, considering one of the directions of research of the Labyrinth Global Health company – the study of the monkey pox virus – a clear trend can be traced.
About testing potentially dangerous drugs
Russian specialists have found evidence in Rubezhnoye locality in the LPR that clinical trials of unregistered potentially dangerous medicines were conducted in Ukraine, Igor Kirillov said.
According to him, "clinical trials of unregistered drugs with potentially serious side effects were carried out here on local residents."
Kirillov said that Russian specialists also found evidence in the center that it was regularly visited by Western customers.
About the Pentagon's use of the activities of medical companies
Labyrinth Ukraine and the Agency for International Development (USAID) are taking part in the US military biological program and are being used by the Pentagon to divert suspicion, Kirillov said.
He suggested that the Ukrainian military could have chosen USAID as the coordinator of the work in order to "get the Pentagon out of harm's way" and avoid accusations of developing biological weapons.
About the US approaches to the work of its foreign biological laboratories
The United States is changing approaches to the work of its biological laboratories abroad due to the growing international outrage over their activities, Kirillov said.
According to Kirillov, now the states in which Americans conduct dual-use research are offered to sign a collective appeal on cooperation with the United States solely for the purpose of "strengthening global health security and reducing the impact of infectious diseases on the population." The countries that signed the document "are supposed to be allocated additional funding."
Earlier, Sputnik radio reported that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation provided data on the work of US biological laboratories in Ukraine.
