Russia, which has announced to the Security Council have discovered a network of bacteriological weapons research laboratories in Ukraine on Friday, March 11, provoked a lifting of Western shields, which denounced “unfounded allegations” and “Provocations irresponsible”. Some countries fear that Moscow has announced in filigree the next chapter of this war, and uses this excuse to use biochemical weapons itself.
The Russian Ambassador to the UN detailed what his foreign minister had announced by his foreign affairs, Sergei Lavrov: “a network of thirty laboratories” where “very dangerous experiences” were carried out would have been discovered by the Russian soldiers on Ukrainian soil, according to Vassili Nebenzia. The diplomat affirms that strains of diseases such as plague or cholera, as well as products such as anthrax have been identified. He claims that these laboratories worked with the US Department of Defense.
Vassili Nebenzia could have sowed doubt whether the US Secretary of State had not unveiled the Russian scenario in advance. Before the same Security Council, on February 17, Antony Blinken had suggested that Russia could pretend the discovery of biochemical weapons in Ukraine to justify its own chemical bombings.
“The theories of the plot”
“The allegations of weapons of mass destruction are to be taken seriously, but these are part of the Russian news war, retorted the ambassador of Albania, Ferit Hoxha. They are false, without substance , are similar to the usual Russian propaganda and misinformation. These are the theories of the plot that do not deserve to make us waste time. “
“This misinformation campaign could be the prelude to the use of a chemical or biological weapon orchestrated by Russia in Ukraine”, worried the French ambassador, Nicolas de Rivière. Before reminding that Moscow had already made chemical attacks in Europe – poisoning the Russian opponent Alexei Navalny in particular. And that Russia had covered by its misinformation the chemical attacks of its ally Bachar al-Assad in Syria.
The Russian mission shared with the members of the Security Council of project documents jointly carried out with American researchers, including [Nute] procured a copy. If there are Ukrainian laboratories financially supported by the United States, this partnership, born in 1993 in the context of the fight against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in the post-Soviet space, is not secretive. . “It’s a job that has been done proudly, clearly and in the open, explained American ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield. It has nothing to do with biological weapons.”
