The American ambassador to the United Nations said Friday that Russia was “lying and spreading disinformation” about a potential operation involving biological weapons in Ukraine.
Russia for making such claims and warned this week of possible false-flag operations.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the American ambassador to the United Nations, scolded Russia for lying about using biological weapons for “tactical military operations.”“This is all an obvious ploy by Russia to try to try to justify its further premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified attack on Ukraine,” she added before warning that “we should all be on the lookout for Russia to possibly use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine, or to create a false flag operation using them.
Friday’s UN Security Council meeting came at Russia’s request so it could make the allegations before an international audience. The claims were first made by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova earlier this week. While there is a network of biological labs in Ukraine which have received funding and support from the US since the 1990s, they are owned and operated by the eastern European country and are a part of an initiative called the Biological Threat Reduction Program, according to the Associated Press.Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US ambassador to the United Nations, speaks with Ukraine’s ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya .
