MOSCOW: US-funded biological laboratories in Ukraine were researching components for biological weapons, said, the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev
At a government meeting, Medvedev remarked, "It is hard not to highlight the activities done by the United States and its allies near the Russian borders."
According to report, such initiatives were not targeted at finding effective ways to defend against deadly diseases or engaging with the international community. "Work was done behind closed doors there. In truth, components for biological weapons have been manufactured, and pathogenic microbes have been examined, posing a threat to humanity as a whole "Medvedev said
"As a result, we consider such operations to be completely undesirable in both Ukraine and the nations around us," he said, adding that such activities should be transparent and under supervision.
