Russia’s Investigative Committee has obtained evidence of the development of biological weapons of mass destruction involving Ukraine’s Health Ministry and funded by the United States, the agency’s official spokesperson Svetlana Petrenko said.
“During an investigation of the criminal case launched in 2022 under Article 355 of the Russian Criminal Code (the development, production and stockpiling of weapons of mass destruction), we obtained data indicating that the US Department of Defense financed the development of biological weapons of mass destruction with the involvement of personnel from Ukraine’s Health Ministry,” she said at the International Security Forum.
Petrenko specified that the case concerns the military-biological use of pathogens including the plague, anthrax, brucellosis and tularemia, which are classified as potential biological warfare agents.
