Moscow has claimed that Ukraine tried to infect the population of the Russia
-aligned Lugansk People鈥檚 Republic with tuberculosis (TB) and allowed the
US government to carry out human experiments at Kharkov鈥檚 psychiatric
wards.
During a briefing on the findings of the Russian Defense Ministry鈥檚
investigation into the purportedly US-funded bioweapon labs in Ukraine,
Chief of Russia鈥檚 Radioactive, Chemical, and Biological Protection Forces
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov claimed that Russian forces had obtained
evidence suggesting Kiev attempted to infect residents of the Slavyanoserbsk
district of the Lugansk People鈥檚 Republic (LPR) with a highly pathogenic
strain of tuberculosis in 2020.
鈥淟eaflets made in the form of counterfeit banknotes were infected with the
causative agent of tuberculosis and distributed among minors in the village
of Stepovoe,鈥Kirillov said, adding that the organizers of this crime
took into account the behavior of children, which includes 鈥減utting things
in their mouth鈥and handling food without washing their hands.

Kirillov stated that the results of the bacteriological studies confirmed
the resistance of the isolated bacteria found on the leaflets to first and
second line anti-TB drugs, which meant that the disease caused by them was
much more difficult and expensive to treat.
He went on to quote the conclusion of the Lugansk Republican Sanitary and
Epidemiological station, which stated that 鈥渢he infection of the banknotes
was most likely artificial, since the material contains extremely dangerous
strains of the pathogen in a concentration that can ensure infection and
the development of the tuberculosis process.鈥br />
Kirillov added that the LPR TB dispensary also noted signs of 鈥渄eliberate,
man-made contamination of leaflets with biomaterials of high pathogenicity.

Russian officials also claimed that the Pentagon had been allegedly
conducting 鈥渋nhumane鈥experiments on the patients of at least two
psychiatric institutions in Kharkov. 鈥淭he main category of experimental
subjects was a group of male, highly physically exhausted patients aged
between 40 to 60 years,鈥Kirillov said.
The experiments were run directly by foreign specialists that had arrived in
Ukraine through third-party nations to conceal the US鈥involvement. The
specialists were abruptly evacuated from the country earlier this year,
shortly before the Russian military operation kicked off, Kirillov noted.
鈥淚n January 2022, the foreign citizens who conducted the experiments were
urgently evacuated, and the equipment and drugs they used were taken to the
western regions of Ukraine,鈥he said.

Last week, the head of Russia鈥檚 Investigative Committee, Alexander
Bastrykin, told RT that the service had 鈥渃learly identified鈥multiple
Americans involved in the military biological research in Ukraine, including
Pentagon employees, as well as companies closely associated with the US
military. According to Russian estimates, Washington poured more than $224
million into biological research in the country between 2005 and early 2022,
Bastrykin stated.
US officials have confirmed the existence of 鈥渂iological research
facilities鈥in Ukraine, but said Washington only provided what they called
鈥渁ssistance鈥for efforts that did not involve the development of
bioweapons.
Russia attacked the neighboring state in late February, following Ukraine鈥
檚 failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in
2014, and Moscow鈥檚 eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of
Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols were designed
to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.
The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a
neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev
insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied
claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force. |
