Why It Matters
Rodion Miroshnik, an ambassador-at-large for the Russian Foreign Ministry, has made statements regarding US biological laboratories in Ukraine. These statements accuse the US of violating international law and deceiving its taxpayers.
MOSCOW, May 19. /TASS/. The activities of US biological laboratories in Ukraine constitute not only a violation of international legal norms and deception of American taxpayers, but also a threat to tens of millions of people, Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s ambassador-at-large overseeing issues related to crimes of the Kiev regime, told TASS.
"This is a violation of international legal norms and, of course, a deception of US taxpayers, who did not know that their money was being used to develop some kind of prototypes of biological weapons or that testing was allegedly being conducted on Ukrainians as part of the Slavic population. This is also a threat to a huge number of people against whom some new types of weapons could have been developed. They would threaten tens of millions of people living across the broader Slavic world," he said.
