US military biological research activities a threat to the world

FLY – Russia is concerned about the large-scale biological research program of the United States (USA), both at home and abroad.

The Russians are particularly concerned as Washington has recognized the “dual nature” of research.

This was revealed by the commander of the Russian Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who spoke during a briefing on Saturday (11/26/2022).

He called for greater international oversight of such programs.

“The Pentagon’s military biological activity in various regions of the world is a source of risk that threatens the entire international community,” Kirillov said.

He explained, “The United States is seeking to increase its biological military potential, as well as expand its global control over the biological situation around the world.” He himself cited US strategic documents.

The US National Biodefense Strategy, adopted in October 2022, stated that the country “recognizes the dual-use nature of life sciences and biotechnology.”

The United States also said Washington “is trying to prevent the misuse of science and technology.”
