Lavrov Accuses US of Having Something to Hide on Bio-Weapons Program

Russia demanded under the BWC, during a UNSC meeting that took place on Friday, September 30, that the US come forward with clarifications regarding its biological program, stressing that Washington has to be fully transparent on its military biological program to ensure that it is legitimate, Russian FM Sergey Lavrov told the heads of intelligence agencies of the CIS countries during a meeting on Friday.

Lavrov slammed the US as having “something to hide.”

Moscow announced back in May that it will activate Articles 5 and 6 of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) to investigate the Biolabs in Ukraine after it accumulated evidence indicating that the US and Ukraine are both in violation of the BWC.

On Monday, September 19, Russian MoD presented evidence in Geneva proving that the US has military-biological activity in Ukraine. Chief of the Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Defense Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, Igor Kirillov, said, “The participants of the meeting received copies of real documents previously mentioned by the Ministry of Defense of Russia, as well as material evidence confirming the implementation of work on military-biological programs in Ukraine, for consideration.”
