‼️The Russian Defence Ministry continues to study documents received from employees of Ukrainian laboratories on the implementation of military biological programs by the United States and its NATO allies on the territory of Ukraine.
▫️Russian specialists of nuclear, biological and chemical protection troops have studied original documents revealing details of the implementation of a secret project by the United States in Ukraine to study ways of transmitting diseases to humans through bats at a laboratory in Kharkov.
▫️I want to emphasize that according to the documents, these studies were carried out in Kharkov on a systematic basis and under the direct supervision of specialists from the United States for many years.
▫️Within the American project, the Kharkov Institute of Veterinary Medicine studied wild birds as way for the transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza. At the same time, the conditions were assessed under which the transmission processes can become uncontrollable, cause economic damage, and create food security risks.
‼️New documents on the export of a large amount of human biomaterials from the territory of Ukraine to the UK and other European countries will be presented.
▫️In the near future, we will show another set of documents received from Ukrainian employees of biological laboratories and present the results of their assessment.
