New Evidence Presented By Russia About US Biolabs

Research was carried out using socially vulnerable people as guinea pigs.

Once again, the issue of US military biolabs in Ukraine gained international attention. Russian officials made reports at a recent summit in Geneva pointing to more crimes that would have been committed by Western forces in Ukraine, including evidence of biological experiments on poor citizens in socially vulnerable situations. In fact, the silence of international organizations about American biolaboratories is already intolerable and measures need to be taken as soon as possible.

At a recent meeting of the member states of the Biological Weapons Convention in Geneva, representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation presented documents containing the results of their investigations into US biolabs in Ukraine. According to statements by the head of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the representatives of the member states of the Convention were convinced with the evidence presented by Russia, and therefore there are apparently no doubts about the illegal conduct of the part of the US.

“The participants of the meeting received copies of real documents previously mentioned by the Russian Ministry of Defense, as well as material evidence confirming the implementation of work on military-biological programs in Ukraine, for consideration”, he said during a press conference.

Kirillov emphasized that one of the first measures taken by the pro-Western government after the Maidan coup was to eliminate Kiev’s health and epidemiological supervision legislation, allowing for the advancement of research previously considered suspicious or unethical. With that, the American system of biological research was able to deepen its experiments, including terrible practices such as the infection of Ukrainian citizens in procedures in which they were subjected as guinea pigs.

The most interesting point is that the people used in such experiments were citizens in a situation of social vulnerability. Poor workers, low-ranking military, psychiatric patients, among others, were often induced by the Ukrainian authorities themselves to serve as guinea pigs in US biolabs. This type of practice makes the situation even more serious, as evidently they were not ordinary people who deliberately volunteered to participate in the experiments, but fragile people who were maliciously induced to undergo biological procedures whose results could be harmful to their own health.

No explanation has been given so far about the methods of selecting people to participate in biological experiments. Indeed, the case requires deeper investigations, since, considering the social vulnerability of the citizens used as guinea pigs, it is possible that coercive methods were used by the Ukrainian authorities. If this is confirmed, this would be another crime against human rights to be tried and condemned.

Kirillov commented that when talking to the American delegation at the conference, he heard from his counterparts a confession of guilt, with the envoys from Washington confirming that they did in fact carry out this type of research and used in their procedures methods of infection and collection of human genetic material with Ukrainian citizens. The Americans, however, eased the magnitude of the situation and claimed that only a few samples of material were evacuated from Ukraine, making it appear that the studies were not so important to the Pentagon, being just another medical research to combat diseases. It is necessary to remember that Moscow has previously published documents pointing out that the Americans evacuated several samples and laboratory reports during the first days of the Russian special military operation, which belies the American narrative.

Furthermore, the American rhetoric that the conduct of such research was aimed at advancing the fight against epidemic diseases seems absolutely fallacious. There is no evidence that any real improvement in methods of combating epidemic viruses and bacteria has been achieved with US military programs. Not only that: there are data collected by Russia that indicate that about 20 thousand Ukrainians died in the last eight years becoming victims of epidemic diseases that were being worked on in the biolabs. So, in fact, the only plausible explanation for a research program of this scale seems to be the attempt to produce biological weapons.

Apparently, the issue of US biolabs has become a consensus among investigators. There does not seem to be any doubt about the fact that the US actually committed crimes against health safety in Ukraine. The evidence presented by the Russians makes it clear that the research had a military nature and used experimental methods not approved by international conventions.

It remains to be seen, however, when the competent international organizations will respond appropriately. Also, it is necessary that Western countries adhere to Russian demands for answers, as this is not a matter of rivalry between Moscow and Washington, but a serious and complex issue that requires the attention of the entire international society.

The US needs to report where the samples evacuated from Ukraine are and what the results of the experiments were.
