“The campaign to discredit Russia continues in the local media by inflating the imaginary threat of the use of biological weapons by the Russian Armed Forces,” the Telegram message says.
At the same time, it was the United States that tarnished its reputation in this area, the department noted.
In particular, the United States developed programs for the use of chemical and biological weapons during the Korean War and currently on the territory of Ukraine.
Earlier, Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov, head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops (RCBZ) of the Russian Armed Forces, said that during a special operation in Ukraine, documents were obtained about the plans of the United States and Ukraine to conduct research on the Ebola virus in Odessa.
Pentagon military biology spending in Ukraine has exceeded $250 million, he noted.
In addition, it became known that Polish specialists participated in the work of biological laboratories on the territory of Ukraine.
