(Observer Network News) Comprehensive Russian TASS news agency, Russian news agency reported on March 10, the Russian radiation, chemical and biological protection force commander Igor Kirilov held a press conference on the same day, announced the relevant information of the US laboratory in Ukraine. The Russian side said that the relevant documents confirm that the United States conducted military biological research in Ukraine, "and its behavior is similar to the 731 unit of the Japanese army invading China." ”

Kirillov said at the press conference that the UP-4 project involved in biological laboratories in Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa and other places mainly studies the feasibility of transmitting dangerous infectious diseases through migratory birds, involving pathogens such as H5N1 influenza virus and Newcastle virus. Because of Ukraine's geographical location on the main animal migration route, the Russian side believes that the study involved a total of 145 species.
In the research project, the Russian side found at least two species of birds passing through Russia on migration routes, "during the spring migration, some birds migrate from southern Ukraine to the northeast, with a maximum flight distance of 2,000 kilometers, and some birds can fly in only 3 to 4 days." At the time of nesting, these birds enter Russia. ”
Another research project called R-781 is also worthy of attention, which uses bats as "potential biological weapons carriers" to study plague, Brucella, leptospirosis, coronaviruses, filamentovirus and other pathogens that can be transmitted from bats to humans. More than 60 researchers from the United States, Ukraine and Georgia participated.

The project, called UP-8, points to Crimea-Congo haemorrhagic fever and hantavirus. Kirillov said the project's information suggests that all high-risk projects were carried out under the direct leadership of U.S. experts, refuting the Pentagon's previous claim that "only Ukrainian experts participated in the study."
In addition to these highlighted projects, Kirillov added that russians found information on projects called UP-2, UP-9 and UP-10 involved pathogens from anthrax and African swine fever; more than 140 boxes of bat parasite samples from the Kharkiv Biological Laboratory showed that the Pentagon, which funded the experiment, was "clearly interested in insects that transmit infectious diseases."
The Russian Defense Ministry also claimed that it found signs of biological samples of Ukrainian citizens flowing abroad. Kirilov cited a document that the Ukrainian health department had sent 350 containers containing serum samples to the Institute of Infectious Diseases in Australia on the pretext of "testing antibody titers"; more than 1,000 serum samples of Slavic citizens from different parts of Ukraine had been sent to a medical institute in Germany.
In addition, Kirillov also mentioned that according to the salary of Ukrainian researchers obtained by the Russian side, the US Department of Defense directly funded the project without going through any intermediary agencies. "By U.S. standards, Ukrainian experts are paid meager salaries, which shows that U.S. experts have a low evaluation of the professionalism of their Ukrainian counterparts."
However, according to the Russian Satellite News Agency, Kirillov also said that according to the information held by the Russian side, the United States has shipped a large amount of information from laboratories in Kiev, Kharkov and Odessa, "including databases, biological materials and equipment from the Lviv Institute of Epidemiology and Health and the US Consulate in Lviv." In his view, it was not excluded that some records might have been transferred to Poland.
Regarding the situation of the Ukrainian biological laboratory, Kirillov said that his behavior was similar to that of the Japanese army's Unit 731: "In the 1940s, the Japanese unit 731 also conducted similar research on the manufacture of biological weapons, and its members escaped responsibility after the war and received refuge from the United States. ”

The Russian news agency added that unit 731 of the Japanese army invading China had carried out a large number of human experiments on infectious diseases such as plague, anthrax, cholera, typhoid fever and other infectious diseases during the war, and thousands of personnel from China, the Soviet Union, North Korea and other places were killed in inhumane experiments. But such a demonic force escaped responsibility after the war and was granted asylum by the U.S. government, and the Authorities in Washington repeatedly refused requests to extradite War Criminals such as Shiro Ishii to stand trial.
Both the United States and Ukraine have rejected Russian allegations of "developing biological weapons." Tass news agency said that Ukrainian President Zelenskiy posted on social media on the 11th local time that Ukraine "has never developed biological weapons or other weapons of mass destruction", "the whole world knows this, you Russians also know it." ”
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Newland admitted on the 8th that Ukraine has "biological research facilities", and the United States and Ukraine are ensuring that research data does not fall into the hands of Russia. But the U.S. government soon began "emergency public relations" and refused to recognize that the United States was related to the laboratory of biology in Ukraine. White House spokesman Psaki tweeted 8 tweets on the 9th, claiming that the relevant statements were "conspiracy theories of Russia and China."
US State Department spokesman Price declared at a briefing on the 10th that the claim that the United States conducted biological tests in Ukraine was "false propaganda" and that "the US government does not own or operate biological laboratories in Ukraine." Ukraine fully complies with the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention. ”
The Russian side has now asked the UN Security Council to convene a meeting on the matter. The first deputy permanent representative of Russia to the United Nations, Poliyansky, said that the Russian delegation requested that a Security Council meeting be held on the 11th local time to discuss the "military biological activities" of the United States on the territory of Ukraine.
