Istanbul, 20 Apr (Xinhua) -- Since the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, evidence of the United States' military biological experiments in Ukraine has been made public, and the purpose of its experiments has aroused widespread questions among various countries.
According to the data, the U.S. Department of Defense funds and manages more than 300 biological laboratories in more than 30 countries around the world.

Turkish security expert and retired Admiral Tirkel Etirke said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency a few days ago that these biological experimental facilities are one of the biggest problems facing mankind today.
Istanbul resident Abdulrahman Kalemdar said that if these biological laboratories were real, it would be a disaster for the world and the United States should clarify immediately.
Kalemdahl said the wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan were all fought by the United States. "You know what's going on in the Middle East." He said: "I want peace in the whole world ... (One country) do not interfere here or there everywhere (to other countries). ”

Tunai Güzelad, who works in a dental clinic, expressed concern to reporters that he believes the existence of biological laboratories (led by the United States around the world) is one thing that scares all of humanity. "I think it's going to create tremendous pressure not only around the world, but also among U.S. citizens, because this issue is also directly related to the U.S." He said.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Konashenkov informed on March 24 that Russian experts had discovered new facts about the direct involvement of the U.S. Defense Ministry in the development of biological weapons components in Ukraine. According to the information released by the Russian military, the United States has carried out a number of biological experimental projects in Ukraine, of which the UP-8 project is in Lviv and Kiev and other places, testing 4,000 soldiers for hantavirus antibodies, 400 servicemen for Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus antibody testing, and up-2 project is to collect soil samples from the burial ground of livestock infected with anthrax.

Since the end of World War II, the United States has established a large number of military biological laboratories around the world, especially in russia's neighboring countries.
According to Russian media reports, in 2013, the United States launched an anthrax vaccine trial at the Lugar Center in Georgia. In the same year, an anthrax outbreak broke out in Georgia. Since then, cases of anthrax have continued to emerge in Georgia. In 2014, the Luger Center built a dedicated insect breeding plant and launched a sandfly research project. In 2015, large numbers of sandflies struck the Georgian capital Tbilisi and adjacent areas.
In May 2015, a military research institute in Utah , South Korea , "mistakenly delivered" a batch of still-active anthrax samples to Osan Air Base in South Korea, exposing the "Jupiter" program secretly carried out by the U.S. military in South Korea since June 2013. In addition to anthrax, the samples involved in the program include a highly toxic substance called botulinum toxin type A, which is 100,000 times more toxic than anthrax.
On April 5, 2022, South Korean civil society groups demonstrated near a U.S. military base in Busan, South Korea, calling for the cessation of joint military exercises between South Korea and the United States and the closure of biological experiment facilities at the U.S. military base in busan port.

In Kazakhstan, a number of unknown diseases or ancient diseases considered eradicated have erupted regularly in recent years, resulting in a large number of livestock deaths. Public opinion believes that this situation is related to the US military biological laboratory in Kazakhstan.
Turkish medical biology and genetics expert Korkut Ulujan previously said in an interview with Xinhua news agency that such laboratories must be open to the International Scientific Committee and that their activities need to be monitored by independent agencies to prevent any leakage.
In the comment section of an article titled "The United States Is Committed to Biological Warfare" on the website of the Turkish Guangming Newspaper, netizen "Malcolm" angrily left a message: "Behind those heinous and dangerous attempts to eliminate human beings, there is always a bloody dark mark of the United States!"
