The United Nations Security Council meets on Ukraine's biological weapons on March 11. The Russian representative accused the U.S. Department of Defense of supporting Ukraine's biological weapons program, which was denied by the U.S. side. China calls on the US to release data on biological weapons activities so that the international community can judge them.
On the 11th, at the request of Russia, the Security Council convened a meeting on the biological weapons issue of Ukraine. Nebenja, Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations, said that Russia has found signs of biological military activity in Ukraine, and the relevant research is carried out by the Ukrainian government and supported by the US Department of Defense.
Studies include the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus, which has a 50% fatality rate in humans. There are also coronaviruses, plague, etc. that can be transmitted from bats to humans.
Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations Nebendja:
We are meeting today because, during Russia's special military operations in Ukraine, it discovered the shocking fact that the Kiev regime is urgently cleaning up traces of a biomilitary program program, which was implemented by the Kiev government and supported by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Greenfield, the U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations, denied the Russian allegations. She said that there is no U.S.-backed Biological and Chemical Weapons Research Institute in Ukraine, and the relevant laboratories in Ukraine are used to detect and study the new crown virus.
Greenfield, Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations:
Ukraine has no biological weapons program, and Ukraine does not have a U.S.-backed Institute of Biological and Chemical Weapons, either on the Russian border or elsewhere.
Zhang Jun, China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said that WHO has recommended that the Ukrainian government destroy pathogens in laboratories to prevent the spread of the virus, and China urges relevant parties to fulfill their obligations and accept multilateral verification.
Zhang Jun, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations:
The United States has 336 laboratories worldwide, which is data submitted by the United States to the Conference of the Parties to the Biological Weapons Convention. The US side has always advocated openness and transparency, and if the US side believes that the relevant information is false, it can fully publish the relevant evidence and make clarifications so that the international community can make a judgment.
