Earlier this week, Russian lawmakers finished a probe into the US-sponsored military-related biological activities in laboratories across Ukraine, putting their findings into a 200-page report – a document, which astonished some observers in Moscow and overseas. | The report of the Russian parliamentary commission, which is based in part on findings previously published by Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops, lays out in detail how Washington and Kiev created a network of laboratories across Ukraine, where military-oriented or double-purpose biological research was performed under the guise of medical biological or biosecurity projects. The parlia-mentary commission has also concluded that the US aims to develop “a universal genetically engineered bioweapon”, capable of infecting not only people, but animals as well as agricultural crops. ● Russia has been warning the international community about the dangers of the US-sponsored biolabs for years, said microbiologist and former UN bioweapons inspector Igor Nikulin. He told Sputnik that the investigators took into account some of his findings from his 2019 works for the anti-terrorism committee of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, and added that there are many technical details in the new report that were never made public before.
