MOSCOW, March 29. / TASS /. Moscow does not have information about the “American trace” in the emergence of the coronavirus, but there are questions to the United States. This was announced on Sunday by TASS a source in the Russian Foreign Ministry.

“In order to unequivocally answer the question about the source, where the first sick person appeared, a lot of scientific work is required,” the source said, commenting on statements from Washington and Beijing regarding the origin of the disease. “Especially if the virus arose in the environment as a result of natural mutations This is probably not possible in one place, so it’s hardly appropriate to blame any country, especially since in a globalized world, when most states are closely connected by transport communications, the transmission of infection from Noah on the planet to the other – a matter of hours. “
Therefore, the accusatory tone of the comments addressed to China, sounding now from Washington, “causes open bewilderment,” the source said. “It’s enough to remember that it was the United States that for many decades was the main driving force of globalization, tried to use it in its geopolitical and economic interests,” the source continued. “Now, you can probably blame only yourself that you didn’t think about the negative side effect.”
Commenting on the assumptions about the “American trace” in the emergence of a coronavirus, a source in the Russian Foreign Ministry indicated that Russia does not have such information today. “However, for a long time we have been watching with concern the US military and biological activities carried out in close proximity to our borders,” he added. “In the neighboring countries of Transcaucasia and Central Asia – and the latter border with China too – there are biological laboratories created with Washington’s money and with the participation of experts seconded from there. Even the local authorities do not seem to know what they are doing there in closed blocks. However, the Americans are well aware and not even hiding that the developments are related to the Pentagon, since their financing is carried out precisely from its budget. “
“In other words, there really are questions for the United States. It would be nice if they would clarify the purpose of their laboratories, which are stuck at the side of Russia and China, instead of organizing propaganda games around the coronavirus. Now the main thing is to deal with it faster, and you can do it only by the joint efforts of all mankind, “the interlocutor summed up.
US officials in recent days have repeatedly pointed out that coronavirus is of Chinese origin, accusing China of not taking timely measures to prevent the internal epidemic from escalating into a global pandemic. In Beijing, they say that the virus could have been smuggled into the PRC by US troops who came to Wuhan for the World War Games in November last year, that is, on the eve of an infectious outbreak.
