More than 30 such labs implemented biological warfare programs in full cooperation with the United States and its NATO allies on the territory of Ukraine. A secret project aimed at studying the ways bats can transmit diseases to humans has been carried out under the under the direct supervision of U.S. specialists’ control and on a systematic basis at the joint biolab in Kharkov, Ukraine, for many years. Even the U.S. Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland admitted in the Senate March 8th that such labs do exist.

 

As part of the project, the Kharkiv State Veterinary Academy studied 145 wild birds as vectors for the transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza. The conditions were assessed under which the transfer can become unmanageable, cause economic damage, and create food security risks.

 

The MoD also named names, revealing that Joanna Wintrol, the U.S. Defence Threat Reduction Agency's liason officer at the US Embassy in Kiev, has been serving as one of the program's curators.

 

Commenting on a trove of papers released in a presentation held March 17th, Russian Radiological, Chemical and Biological (RCB) Defence Troops chief Lt-Gen Igor Kirillov pointed to a document dated 6 March 2015 which he said confirmed that components of biological weapons were being created in Ukraine with direct U.S. involvement and financing.

 

"An analysis of the information received suggests that Ukrainian specialists have not been made aware of the potential risks involved in the transfer of biomaterials, and that they are essentially being used and kept in the dark, and have no real idea about the true goals of the ongoing research," Kirillov said at a briefing in Moscow on March 17th.

 

He suggested that it was no coincidence that these biolaboratories were chosen by the DTRA and its contractor Black & Veatch to execute Project UP-8, directed at the study of pathogens of Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever, leptospirosis and hantaviruses, given that these pathogens have natural foci in both Ukraine and Russia. Their use can be disguised as the natural outbreak of diseases. This is why this particular project received additional funding, and the deadlines for its implementation were extended, Kirillov said.

 

Ukrainian biolabs were also the main executor of Project P-782, conducting research into the transmission of diseases through bats. A Russian RCB Troops analysis of documents in this area has shown that Pentagon research in this area has been going on since at least 2009 under the direct supervision of U.S. specialists, and that work in this area was undertaken in subprojects P-382, P-444 and P-568.

 

The documents showed that the Pentagon planned to expand its military bioresearch program in Ukraine to neighboring countries, and a research into the spread of pathogens by bats in joint U.S labs in Ukraine and the Lugar Lab in the Republic of Georgia began in October 2019, on the eve of the start of the global coronavirus pandemic.

 

Russia continues to receive information about attempts to destroy biomaterials and documentation in Ukraine's biolabs. During such liquidation activities at the Laboratory of Veterinary Medicine in the settlement of Khlebodarskoye, Odessa region, Ukrainian nationals working at the lab were not even allowed in the building. This laboratory cooperates with the Mechnikov Anti-Plague Research Institute in Odessa, which conducted research on plague, anthrax, cholera, tularemia and arboviruses.

 

Russian MoD will present in the near future new documents on the export of a large amount of human biomaterials from Ukraine to the UK and other European countries.

 

The units of the airborne troops of Russia, performing tasks within the framework of a special military operation, have begun serving at checkpoints, ensuring the safety of the passage of military columns and movement along public roads of residents of settlements in the Kiev region.

 

To ensure the safety of the passage of military units at the exits from the controlled area, several checkpoints are equipped. On the most dangerous sections of roads, airborne units deployed platoon strongpoints.

 

The main task of military personnel at checkpoints is to ensure the safety of movement of military convoys, civilians, checking vehicles, drivers and passengers, as well as inspection of transported goods.

 

While Russian troops managed to secure a free passage for many refugees, the ultra-nationalist formations do their utmost to prevent them to escape. For example, at the city of Mariupol, Russians helped more than 31.000 trapped people to flee to the Russian territory, the Ukrainian national battalions permitted only a small group of such people comprised from nearly 100 persons.

 

To attract more military assistance from outside Kiev ordered to explode a drama theater in Mariupol with several dozens of civilians hiding at its basements. Many saved refugees criticize Ukrainian national battalions in a very strong words as ‘new fascists’ and as “beasts’. 

 

NATO guided by the USA have increased shipments of military aid to Ukraine. It means that they still pour more fuel into a flame. They still rely on Kiev wishing to prolong their proxy aggression in Europe.

 

Russian troops are moving towards the final goal: demilitarization and denazification of the regime in Ukraine that became a puppet in the hands of a number of states in the West who created a new hotbed of tension in Europe and as a bridgehead for attacking Donbass – the area that does not want to live inside the ultra-nazi and failed state. 

 

In total, over the past day, aviation and air defence of the Russian Aerospace Forces shot down one Ukrainian helicopter Mi-24 and 1 Mi-8, as well as 12 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, including 3 Bayraktar TB-2.

 

Operational-tactical and army aviation hit 46 military assets of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Among them: 11 anti-aircraft missile systems, including S-300 division, 1 multiple launch rocket system, 3 command posts, 1 electronic warfare station, 7 ammunition depots and 18 areas of military equipment concentration. On the evening of March 16th, high-precision missiles delivered an air strike on ammunition storage in Sarny, Rovnenskaya region. Storage facilities with missiles and ammunition, including missiles for the Tochka-U tactical complex, were destroyed.

 

In total, 182 Ukrainian aircraft and helicopters, 177 unmanned aerial vehicles, 170 anti-aircraft missile systems, 1,393 tanks and ACVs, 134 MLRS, 523 field artillery and mortars, as well as 1,182 special military vehicles were destroyed during the operation that started February 24th, 2022.
