Ryabkov: London and Washington are trying to hide information about biological activities in Ukraine
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov explained that London and Washington are trying to hide information about US military biological activities in Ukraine.
“Russia, speaking about the dangerous activity of American biological laboratories in Ukraine, is not trying to divert attention from the Russian special military operation in Ukraine,” Ryabkov said at a press conference, reported by RIA Novosti today.
In response to a question by a British journalist, Ryabkov explained that the discussion here is about drawing continuous and intentional attention to a very serious problem that London and Washington want (to sweep it under the rug) and to hide it and show that it is simply fabricated and that it is an element of the Russian disinformation strategy.
“We are talking about what was found in the relevant laboratories and the documents that we collected during the special military operation over a period of half a year and even more,” Ryabkov said, adding, “Therefore I do not agree with the term distraction.”
Last May, Director of the Department of Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Vladimir Yermakov, confirmed that the facts obtained during the Russian special military operation in Ukraine prove that military biological activities in Ukraine were carried out with the support of the US Department of Defense, the Pentagon, in contradiction to the first and fourth articles of Convention on the Prohibition of Biological Weapons.
