“A significant threat is posed by the network of biolaboratories, which retain their significance and operate in some states in the post-Soviet space.
They are organized by the United States, ”TASS quoted Medvedev as saying.
He said that in biolaboratories "under the guise of purely scientific research, not entirely clear military biological activity continues."
This activity is "associated with the possibility of introducing pathogens of dangerous diseases into the territory of Russia," Medvedev concluded.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a summit of the heads of state of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, drew attention to the military biological activities of the United States in the post-Soviet space, including Ukraine.
As Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's permanent representative to the UN, stated, the United States is deliberately blocking attempts to strengthen the regime of the convention on the prohibition of biological and toxin weapons.
