“According to the available information, the Pentagon is actively transferring research that has not been completed within the framework of Ukrainian projects to the states of Central Asia and Eastern Europe,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

At the same time, he noted that the US defense department in this area is increasing cooperation with the states of Africa and the Asia-Pacific region - Kenya, Cambodia, Singapore, and Thailand.

“Of particular interest to the US military are states that already have laboratories with a high level of biological isolation on their territory,” said a spokesman for the Department of Defense.

Earlier, Kirillov said that the West had blocked Russian initiatives to strengthen the non-proliferation regime for bioweapons.
