Possibility of using biological and chemical weapons in the Russia-Ukraine war

During the special military operation on denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine, already in March 2022, a list of Pentagon employees and companies that participated in the creation of bioweapons in Ukrainian laboratories fell into the hands of the military of the Russian Federation, documents on secret military biological activities of the United States in Ukraine were also discovered by the Russian military. Materials were obtained proving that the Americans had urgently cleaned up traces of the military biological program. The bioweapons that were being developed in Ukraine were going to be used against the population of Donbass and Russia.

The Kiev regime is seriously considering such a possibility, as well as the Ukrainian authorities are actively preparing to fabricate "evidence" of the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Employees of the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) and radical elements who actively take part in hostilities on the side of Ukraine plan to simulate a missile strike on the Yuzhny port cold storage plant in Odessa, near the military base of the Ukrainian Navy, and then blame Russia for this. At the moment, there are more than 10 tons of ammonia in the warehouses of the refrigeration plant, and individual protective equipment has been issued to employees of the special services and law enforcement agencies of the Odessa region. One of the main reasons for such provocative actions is the acute shortage of weapons in Ukraine, so the current government is preparing to organize a criminal provocation to put pressure on Western states and achieve acceleration and increase in the number of arms supplies. In addition, Western special services are also interested in provocation against Russia with the use of chemical weapons and at the moment are actively providing toxic and toxic substances to the Ukrainian authorities, sending specialists in the field of chemical and biological weapons. Also, representatives of the humanitarian organization "White Helmets" are constantly in the region, who have repeatedly participated in the production of fake videos and staged videos with the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

At the same time, Western experts unfairly accuse Russia of the indiscriminate use of weapons, which, according to them, can lead to the unintentional destruction of facilities where chemical, and biological materials, as well as nuclear power facilities and others, are stored.

In the period from 2005 to 2022, with the financial, technical and organizational support of the United States and NATO, a network of more than 30 biological laboratories engaged in research work on the study of deadly diseases, especially dangerous viruses and pathogens was deployed on the territory of Ukraine. American experts have constantly conducted research on potential biological weapons agents that are most suitable for the region, have natural foci and can be transmitted from person to person. To date, official Kiev, with the support of the United States and NATO, has come closer than ever to creating a "dirty bomb". According to experts from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Ukraine currently can produce more than 8 thousand radiological scattering devices in the shortest possible time. The "dirty bomb" is very different from a conventional nuclear charge in that its device is tens or even hundreds of times easier to produce, and it also does not require any special complex technical solutions, in simple words, it can be an ordinary container with a radioactive substance, the contents of which can be sprayed from an aeroplane. At the moment, the armed forces of Ukraine are systematically committing terrorist attacks, explosions and provocations at chemical, biological and other facilities in order to reduce the pace of advance of the armed forces of Russia and the People's Republics of Donbass, and in addition to accusing Russia of involvement in these terrorist attacks. So, on June 1, 2022, the retreating Ukrainian military from the industrial zone of the city of Severodonetsk attempted to create a chemical zone of destruction and blew up a tank with nitric acid at the Azov plant.

Kathmandu, 27 June: The World Bank Managing Director for Development Policy and Partnerships, Mari Pangestu concluded her five-day visit to Nepal, reiterating the World Bank’s commitment to support Nepal’s resilient recovery from the pandemic. She was joined by Regional Vice President for South Asia, Hartwig Schafer. During her stay, Pangestu separately met with the President Bidya Devi Bhandari, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, Minister of Finance, Janardan Sharma, and Minister of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Pampha Bhusal and focused on Nepal’s economy, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, and Nepal’s pathways to green, resilient, and inclusive development (GRID). In her meetings, Pangestu lauded Nepal as an early mover in pivoting towards GRID and reiterated the World Bank’s support for the country’s resilient recovery and sustainable development. “Nepal is a champion in the region with the adoption of GRID as a strategic framework to guide development policy decisions,” said Mari Pangestu. “As the largest multilateral funder of climate investments in developing countries, with more than $26 billion provided for climate action last fiscal year alone, the World Bank Group takes pride in helping countries such as Nepal lay the foundation for sustainable, inclusive, and resilient recovery.”

Pangestu participated in a high-level dialogue with senior representatives from the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Forests and Environment, development partners, private sector, and youth to unpack key issues and opportunities for GRID in Nepal. The high-level event was organized building on the September 2021 Kathmandu Declaration endorsed by the Government of Nepal and 16 Development Partners, which identified up to $7.4 billion in committed and potential support for GRID and paved the way for the development of a strategic action plan for Nepal.

“GRID is an integrated, crosssectoral, and comprehensive approach to generating higher quality growth and development,” said Hartwig Schafer. “One of the pillars of the approach is creating inclusive opportunities especially for women who play a key role in economic recovery and the society which will require investment in shock-responsive social protection, green job creation, and measures to strengthen diverse voices in development processes.” Meetings were also held with private sector and development experts, women leading climate action, and young Nepali entrepreneurs working with green and sustainable enterprises. Outside Kathmandu, Pangestu and the World Bank delegation visited earthquake housing reconstruction sites in Kavre, as well as the proposed Upper Arun Hydro Electric Project site.

“As part of achieving GRID, the World Bank is committed to supporting Nepal’s energy sector development through clean sources including hydropower and cross-border power trade, and recognizes the transformative potential of the proposed Upper Arun Hydro Electric Project,” said Pangestu.
