  Ukrainian biolabs near Russia’s borders engaged in the development of components for biological weapons, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
  –
  “In the past several days, long-standing fears which we have expressed repeatedly for years regarding the development of military biological materials by the United States on the territory of Ukraine under the auspices of the relevant US special services have been confirmed,” Zakharova said in a briefing Wednesday.
  –
  “This has been confirmed based not only on those materials and data which were obtained operationally on the territory of Ukraine, not just based on the statements of the relevant agencies in Ukraine, but directly in Washington during a speech by US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland,” Zakharova said.
  –
  The spokeswoman said the question of whether or not the biological weapons components being researched at these facilities have been destroyed or not remains to be answered, but pointed to the documents received from employees of biolabs showing that an order had been given 24 February to liquidate dangerous pathogens.
  –
  Zakharova emphasised that there is now no doubt about the military nature of the research taking place at these facilities, pointing to the Russian military’s revelations on the labs’ US Department of Defence funding, operations under the Pentagon’s purview and the presence of US specialists instructing the Ukrainian side in conducting the relevant research.
