    Russian FM accuses the US of hiding something regarding their military biological weapons program in Ukraine.

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.

US admits to bio-activities in Ukraine

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."

The US admitted to having carried out biological activities in Ukraine, however, it claimed that it was in support of the BWC, and according to US State Department spokesperson Ned Price, technical experts from the United States worked with Ukrainian delegations and "unambiguously" explained their cooperation. Allegedly, the cooperative effort was conducted as part of the broader US Cooperative Threat Reduction Program and also included US assistance to Ukraine related to public health facilities, biosafety, biosecurity, and disease surveillance.

However, US Under Secretary for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland refused to cooperate with the Russian parliamentary commission on the operations of US biological laboratories in Ukraine, despite earlier admitting during a senate meeting that, "Ukraine has biological research facilities."

Deputy Speaker of Russia's Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev stated that "we turned to Ms. Nuland. Her office categorically refused to interact with the commission, with some propaganda clichés such as, you'd better take care of yourself and look at yourself - completely unconvincing," adding, "And we have not received, of course, any substantive answers to the questions that we have formulated [to the US side on the activities of facilities]."

In early September, Kirillov stated that the United States is planning on transferring its programs of biological research from Ukraine to post-Soviet republics, as well as Eastern European and Baltic states. "The Pentagon is poised to shortly relocate the programs unfinished in Ukraine to other post-Soviet states, as well as to Eastern European states, such as Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and the Baltic states," Kirillov said.

It's noteworthy that back in March, the Defense Ministry Spokesperson Major General Igor Konashenkov revealed that Kiev was urgently covering up traces of a military biological program carried out in Ukraine and funded by the Pentagon. Konashenkov told reporters that "during the special military operation, [Russia] revealed the facts of an urgent sweep by the Kiev regime of traces of a military biological program being implemented in Ukraine, financed by the US Defense Ministry,” adding that, "the documents received to confirm that the development of biological weapon components was carried out in Ukrainian biological laboratories in the direct vicinity of the territory of Russia."

EU lost its autonomy, suffers enormous losses from what US dragged bloc into: Lavrov

In a different context, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday the European Union lost its autonomy and is suffering enormous losses from what the US has dragged the bloc into. 

"Pursuing their thoughtless course of 'canceling Russia,' the Anglo-Saxons achieved unconditional subordination of the entire collective West, NATO, as well as the European Union, which finally lost its course towards strategic autonomy," Lavrov said at a meeting of the heads of intelligence agencies of the CIS countries, adding that this causes enormous losses to the bloc.
