Russia warns US against malicious distortions about CBTW

MOSCOW, May 12. /ITAR-TASS/. The Russian Foreign Ministry urged the United States to refrain from malicious distortions, take balanced steps and adhere to common sense with regard to the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons (CBTW).

“On May 7, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs (Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats) held a hearing under a tendentious title of ‘Assessing the Biological Weapons Threat: Russia and Beyond’. We see no need to respond to all the concoctions made during that propaganda event, but think it advisable to dwell upon two points,” the ministry said.
