The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has received information about the executors of the US military biological programs in Ukraine, said the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.
He made the statements at a briefing on the results of the Ninth Review Conference of the States Parties to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC).

Kirillov also named new high-ranking participants of the military biological program in Ukraine.
Some participants of closed projects still remain in the shadows, although they act as key figures in the Ukrainian military biological program, the general stressed.
These people should be asked why the American authorities are spending taxpayers' money on illegal military biological research in other countries around the world, Kirillov stressed.
The fact of working with dangerous pathogens in the Pentagon-funded laboratories of Ukraine was confirmed by Richard Bosher, a former employee of the US Army Research Institute, the general said .
Now the American Ministry of Defense is transferring military biological research that has not been completed in Ukraine to the countries of Central Asia and Eastern Europe, Kirillov continued.
According to Kirillov, the documents received supplement and confirm the information received during the special military operation in Ukraine.
Earlier, Sputnik radio told how the activities of American biological laboratories could affect the health of Russians.
