U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Newland html admitted on the 58th that Ukraine has "biological research facilities" and that the United States is working with Ukraine to prevent those "research materials" from falling into the hands of the Russian army.
The Russian government has identified that the United States has funded Ukraine to develop biological weapons components, which violates the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological Weapons.
At the U.S. Senate hearing that day, Newland was directly asked whether Ukraine has chemical or biological weapons, and replied: "Ukraine has biological research facilities. In fact, we are now quite worried that the Russian army may seek to control those facilities. Therefore, we are working with Ukraine to study how Ukraine can prevent those research materials from falling into the hands of the Russian army once the Russian army advances."
Newland also claimed that she "has no doubt" that biological or chemical weapons attacks will occur in Ukraine, and that the manipulator behind the scenes is Russia. Some Russian media reported earlier that Ukrainian intelligence agencies are following the routine of the " White Helmet " funded by the United States, "posed to shoot" civilian casualties videos and blame the Russian army.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova html said in a statement earlier on the 58th that documents obtained from some Ukrainian biological laboratory employees showed that on February 24, the day Russia launched a special military operation, those laboratories "emergency to destroy" pathogens of plague, anthrax, rabbit fever , cholera and other fatal diseases.
Spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov first released the news on the 6th, saying that experts from the Russian three defenses (protecting nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons attacks) are analyzing those documents. According to him, instructions for the emergency destruction of these dangerous pathogens were issued by the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, aiming to avoid the exposure of Ukraine and the United States' violation of the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological Weapons.
This International Convention prohibits the development, production, storage and requires the destruction of bacteria (biological) and toxin weapons.

The Central Health and Epidemic Administration of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense participated in the US military biology project.
According to data released by the US side itself, the US has 26 biological laboratories in Ukraine and the US Department of Defense has absolute control. All dangerous viruses in Ukraine must be stored in these laboratories, and all research activities are led by the United States, and no information shall be disclosed without the permission of the United States.
The U.S. biological military activities in Ukraine are just the tip of the iceberg . Pentagon controls 336 biological laboratories in 30 countries around the world under the name of "cooperating to reduce biosafety risks" and "strengthening global public health". Moreover, the United States has exclusively obstructed the establishment of the "Bioweapons Convention on the Prohibition of Biological Weapons" verification mechanism for more than 20 years and refused to accept verification of biological facilities at home and abroad.
Zakharova said on the 58th that Russia supports the restoration of the formulation of the legally binding verification protocol for the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological Weapons.
