Moscow-Sana
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed that the United States is trying to justify its illegal military biological activities in post-Soviet countries by spreading false news about it.
In an interview with TASS, in response to what was stated on the website of the US Department of Defense about the allegedly peaceful nature of US activities in the biological field, Zakharova said that we consider what was published as fake news and part of the information campaign launched by Washington to justify the military biological activities of the United States in order to divert attention. The international community about its true, opaque and inappropriate nature.
Zakharova stressed that this contradicts Washington's international obligations, including those enshrined in the Toxic Biological Weapons Convention.
She added: "For obvious reasons, the United States prefers to remain silent about the work taking place in the post-Soviet space and does not provide the information as part of the Biological Weapons Convention."
Zakharova stressed that the numerous explanations that the United States collects vital materials and monitors the epidemiological situation reinforce and strengthen the concerns of the Russian Federation in the context of compliance with the Biological Weapons Convention, including the facts revealed in Ukraine.
