"How much more will have to endure this nonsense": The UN criticized Russia for waste of the Security Council
It is noted that earlier, Russia, at least, raised the issue of biological weapons programs in Ukraine twice in the Security Council. The US and Ukraine stated that they did not have biological weapons programs. Journalists write that Russia is currently insisting on an official investigation. It has developed a resolution of the Security Council to establish a commission consisting of all 15 members of the Council to investigate its claims.
Such a step is possible - but never applied - according to the Convention on Biological Weapons, which came into force in 1975. US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas Grinfield has called Russia's accusations "a pure fiction without any evidence. " UN disarming officials have long stated that they did not know anything about any biological weapons programs in Ukraine.
"Do you really think that we are so naive? Do you really think that we believe that Pentagon is going to inform the High Representative of the UN Disarmament Department about its secret biological programs in Ukraine?" The Russian representative to the UN Federation asked Vasyl Nemenz. The material said that it was not immediately clear when Russia would put a project of the resolution to the vote. The resolution requires nine votes and lack of veto from Russia, China, the US, France or the UK.
Western diplomats said that Russia's actions are likely to fail. Thomas Grinfield stated that there is no Ukrainian biological weapons laboratories, which is supported by Washington. She stressed that Ukraine, like many countries, has a laboratory infrastructure of public health to protect against infectious diseases. "This meeting is a tremendous waste . . .
An attempt to distract from the atrocities that Russian troops commit in Ukraine, and a desperate tactic to justify an unjustified war," she said. Earlier, Focus reported that the United States published a new defense strategy. The Pentagon stated that the US would cooperate with NATO allies and partners to strengthen the reliable restraint of Russian aggression. The war in Ukraine has shown the world that the Kremlin is a threat to Western values.
We will also remind that Putin's associate stated that China would take Taiwan at "The right time". One of the main associates of the Kremlin head said that the Communist Party of China is doing everything right, trying to pick up Taiwan. Taipei has already answered. It was also reported that Putin is building a global coalition against the event. According to the political scientist, it is unlikely that the Kremlin's head was convinced that he was driven into a corner.
