Moscow to probe Ukraine biolabs

-

Moscow has announced it will launch an investigat­ion into US-controlled biological labs in Ukraine, and Ukraine carried out its first airstrike on Russian territory on April 1.

A Russian parliament­ary commission held its first meeting on March 31, announcing the establishm­ent of four working groups to investigat­e biological research by US specialist­s in Ukraine, according to a statement from the Russian State Duma, the lower house of the country’s parliament.

During Russia’s special military operation, the dangerous biological activities of the United States on the territory of Ukraine were revealed, said Irina Yarovaya, co-chair of the commission and deputy chairperso­n of the State Duma.

“Dangerous both for Russia and for Ukraine itself. We are talking about secret activities controlled by the US Department of Defense, with signs of the developmen­t of biological weapons,” she said.

The investment fund Rosemont Seneca, currently managed by US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden, financed the Pentagon’s military biological program in Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

US Undersecre­tary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland has admitted that “Ukraine has biological research facilities”.
