Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov told Newsweek that 'risks posed by biological agents' are 'on a par with nuclear and chemical proliferation.'
She argued that Russia had"failed to provide any credible evidence to support these false allegations" and,"despite Russia's abuse of the process, and precisely because we respect the BWC and its provisions, the United States and Ukraine went through Russia's allegations in Geneva, point by point, and debunked every single one" during a previous U.N. session on the issue in Geneva in September.
"The collective West has followed the beaten track of accusing Russia of misinformation and distracting the international community from discussing more important issues," Antonov said."The logic of such a nervous reaction of the U.S. colleagues is clear: In the absence of reliable counterarguments, it is easier to distort mirror images, especially when you know that obedient allies will not let you down.
Other questions Antonov had for U.S. officials included,"Why has the U.S. transferred from Ukraine at least 16 thousand biosamples, including human tissue and serum? What is the real reason behind the emergent destruction of pathogen collections stored in these facilities ?" "Neither do they question the Pentagon's intentions to transfer unfinished programs from Ukraine to third countries," he added."Among the 'candidates' are Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Baltic states."
