- It became known that during a special military operation in Ukraine, Russian troops discovered new documents on the topic of military biological activities in Ukraine.

Could you elaborate on this?


- As a result of a special military operation in Ukraine (SVO of the Armed Forces of Russia), documents were at the disposal of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation that partially shed light on the military biological program implemented by the US Department of Defense on Ukrainian territory, within the framework of which research activities were carried out to study especially dangerous pathogens - potential agents of biological weapons that have natural foci both in Ukraine and in Russia, as well as possible ways of their epidemic spread.

The uncovered scale of the work carried out gives every reason to believe that a significant and, with a high probability, the most significant share of information about the mentioned program of the US military is still hidden from the international community.

On March 9, 2022, US Senior Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, speaking at a hearing in the US Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, announced Washington's efforts to prevent "passing into the hands of Russian forces" of certain research materials from Ukrainian biological laboratories.

During the press briefings by Igor Kirillov, Chief of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, on March 7, 10, 17, 24 and 31, 2022, data were made public regarding the military biological activities of the United States on the territory of Ukraine, obtained as a result of the SVO of the Armed Forces Russia, as well as the conclusions drawn on the basis of their expert analysis.

The study of materials continues.

- What measures are being taken by the Russian side so that the United States provides clarifications on the topic of cooperation in the military biological field with Ukraine?

The Russian side has voiced the facts that have been revealed so far at the UN and from the stands of other international organizations, calling on the US authorities to provide appropriate detailed explanations, but Washington quite predictably does not demonstrate readiness to share with the public any substantive information about its military biological program in Ukraine.

Moreover, the White House, apparently considering the attack as the best defense, launched another propaganda campaign, the central thesis of which was the false assertion that the efforts of our country to draw the attention of the international community to the activities of American military biologists on Ukrainian territory are supposedly nothing more than informational "smoke screen", which, they say, Moscow will try to hide behind with the potential use of biological and chemical weapons within the framework of the Russian Armed Forces.

This rude attempt by the US authorities to divert public focus from the explosive topic of biological laboratories under their control in Ukraine, drowning it out with such an “apocalyptic sensation”, was - unexpectedly at first glance - actively supported by the political leadership of Germany.

Statements with, in fact, a reproduction of the narrative thrown in by the Americans, dressed in the form of formidably righteous warnings against Russia, followed by a number of leading German politicians and senior officials, including German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

The verbal initiative of official Berlin in this case, although it does not deviate from the strategic line pursued by it for a long time in the context of the Ukrainian crisis (which, on the whole, does not contribute to its settlement now, but previously led the Minsk process to a dead end with its conscious pro-Kiev orientation), but still stands out with special cynicism from the general flow of anti-Russian rhetoric coming from the FRG in recent weeks.

First of all, in view of the key circumstance that before the start of the NMD of the Russian Armed Forces, along with the United States, intensive military biological activity in Ukraine for many years was carried out and, possibly, continues to be carried out by Germany itself.

This, in our firm conviction, largely motivates the German side to be more active than other countries of the European Union (EU) in attempts to attribute to our country criminal plans to use biological and chemical weapons on Ukrainian soil and the territories of the Donetsk People's Republic that have not yet been liberated. (DPR) and Lugansk People's Republic (LPR).

- Is there any more detailed information about the military-biological activities of Germany in Ukraine?

For a more complete understanding of the situation, we would like to cite the following facts.

Since 2013, the German government, under the auspices of the German Federal Foreign Office (FRG), has been implementing the national biosecurity program (German Biosecurity Program / GBP), within the framework of which partnership projects are being carried out with government departments and research organizations of focus countries, including in the “Maidan” 2014, Ukraine was also included.

Practical work on the German side is carried out by specialists from the Institute of Microbiology of the German Armed Forces (Munich), as well as specialists in the field of studying deadly biological agents of the Institute.

According to the German Foreign Ministry, in 2020-2022 the “third phase” of the GBP is already being implemented, the declared technical tasks of which, judging by the materials posted in the public domain, include, among other things, the collection of “sensitive epidemic information” (gathering of epidemic intelligence) in third countries ), including with the use of big data technologies, and the development of the infrastructure of partner countries for working with dangerous biological agents (dangerous biological agents).

Since 2016, the main Ukrainian contractor of the Institute of Microbiology of the Armed Forces of Germany, as follows from its own data, is the Institute of Experimental and Clinical Veterinary Medicine in Kharkov, interaction with which is carried out within the framework of the project "Ukrainian-German initiative on biological safety and biological protection in the field of management zoonotic risks at the external borders of the European Union”.

Given that its official goal is to “improve the situation in the field of biosecurity and security” in Ukraine, “especially in the east of the country”, a rhetorical question arises: what border do German military biologists consider as external to the area of ​​their professional interests?

Russian-Ukrainian?

In its materials, the Institute of Microbiology of the German Armed Forces motivates the implementation of the project by the “potential threat of biological terrorism” in Ukraine against the backdrop of ongoing armed clashes in the east of the country.

It is clear that in this way the idea of ​​the possible “involvement” of the DPR and LPR in hatching plans for the use of biological weapons prohibited by international law is being gradually carried out.

Thus, the German military deliberately and for a long time intimidated their Ukrainian counterparts and de facto psychologically set them against the Donbass republics.

Ukrainian experts in the field of biological safety are regular participants of the Medical Biodefense Conferences held by the Institute of Microbiology of the German Armed Forces with different frequency.

As it is clear to everyone, in order to build protection against a possible biological attack, it is necessary first to study the potential agents of biological weapons with which it can be committed, that is, to conduct research activities in the field of biological or chemical weapons.

The fact that the German Armed Forces have sufficient knowledge and practical skills in this area is also known from the scandalous incident with the mysterious "poisoning" of blogger Alexei Navalny.

Specialists of the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Germany - "adjacent" to the Institute of Microbiology of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Germany of a military institution - in the shortest possible time allegedly found traces of a certain military toxin in the body of a Russian, in NATO terminology belonging to the family of the so-called Novichok.

Such a high level of expertise, if, of course, everything that was then stated is true, testifies to the ability of the German Armed Forces to independently synthesize toxic substances, including the notorious "Novichok" and its markers.

Through the German Institute.

F. Loeffler, who is in charge of the Center for the Study of Particularly Dangerous Viruses and Zoonotic Infections on the Baltic island of Reems, actively interacts with the Ukrainian State Research Institute for Laboratory Diagnostics and Veterinary and Sanitary Expertise (Kyiv), the State Scientific and Control Institute of Biotechnology and strains of microorganisms (Kyiv), as well as with the Institute of Experimental and Clinical Veterinary Medicine (Kharkov) cooperating in parallel with the Institute of Microbiology of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Also on russian.rt.com, the head of the Russian Chemical Biochemical Plant, VS Kirillov, announced that the United States was silent on biological activities in Ukraine

The focus of activities in Ukraine is the Institute of Tropical Medicine named after.

B. Nokhta there are such especially dangerous infections as Dengue, Chikungunya, West Nile, Uzutu and others.

The above information about the military-biological activities of the FRG on Ukrainian territory is far from exhaustive.

It is possible that as the NMD of the Russian Armed Forces advances, they will be supplemented on the basis of new documents that may come into the possession of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

According to confirmed information, the German side closely coordinated its work in the field of biological security with the American allies, who created a network of at least 30 biological laboratories in Ukraine, where, among other things, dangerous scientific research was carried out.

We call on German officials to immediately stop spreading false fabrications about our country's alleged intention to use weapons prohibited by international law within the framework of the Russian Armed Forces.

We believe that such statements can only spur the Ukrainian neo-Nazi battalions to commit terrible provocations, the moral responsibility for the tragic consequences of which will also fall on Berlin.
