In response to the United States conducting biological experiments in the surrounding areas of Russia, including Ukraine, and building a network of laboratories, Yuan Tinglei, a commentator on international issues on the global information broadcast of the General Radio Station, interviewed Russian virologist Chebrnov, let us listen to what he said.
"Data show that the United States conducts research in the field of biological weapons in Ukraine"
Yuan Tinglei: President Putin said that Russia has good evidence to believe that the components of biological weapons have been manufactured in Ukraine's immediate vicinity with Russia. As a virologist, what basis do you think has been confirmed?
Russian virologist Chebrnov: According to the information released by the Russian Ministry of Defense, this is a network of different types of laboratories. Among them are veterinary laboratories, medical and health laboratories, and laboratories in the field of bacteriology and virology. Each individual sub-project appears to be routine research, such as bird, parasite, or veterinary research. But when these seemingly innocuous project outcomes are put together, a lot of data can be generated. Then you will understand what their purpose is. Based on this, it is almost certain that the ultimate direction of all this (data) is research in the field of biological weapons. Migratory bird migration is a classic example of [biological weapons research], which began in the 1950s.
"Spreading the virus using regular bird migration"
Yuan Tinglei: You just mentioned the study of migratory bird migration, and the Russian Ministry of Defense has obtained information about how the US biological laboratory in Ukraine is studying how to spread extremely dangerous viruses through migratory birds. Can you analyze from a scientific point of view how the transmission of high-risk viruses through birds is achieved?
Russian virologist Chebronov: This is a very dangerous research direction. Because some extremely dangerous viruses, such as avian influenza, are easily transmitted by birds. The migration of birds is very regular, and its time and route are very precise. If you grasp the laws, you can use them.
"The United States is worried that the research materials will fall into the hands of russia"
Yuan Tinglei: US Deputy Secretary of State Newland admitted that Ukraine has "biological research facilities" and that the US side is very worried that these "research materials" will fall into the hands of the Russian military. What does the US side obviously want to hide from the world, what is your opinion on this?
Russian virologist Chebronov: This statement itself is shocking enough, if a biological laboratory has been engaged in scientific research for a long time, but has never published any research results, it is likely to be engaged in research for military purposes, which is a very typical feature. It seems to me that Ms. Nuland has made it very clear. A U.S. official at such a high level is so worried that the information will fall into the hands of the Russians. If they do do normal research, what do they have to worry about?
