MOSCOW, March 10. /TASS/. The main goal of US biological programs is to establish a global biological control, which means the countries that are drawn into them shift to US standards for information on biological situation while their national health care systems deteriorate, Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Force Igor Kirillov said at a news conference on US military biological activity on Friday.
"We have repeatedly drawn your attention to the fact that the main goal of US biological programs is to establish global biological control. The result of ‘selective assistance’ to states involved in programs is, as a rule, the transition to American standards for the transfer and generalization of information on the biological situation, the degradation of national health care systems, the imposition of suppliers of medical equipment and drugs," he said.
Kirillov added that this activity is accompanied by the construction of military laboratories along the borders of geopolitical opponents, the collection of strains of especially hazardous microorganisms that are endemic to certain territories and the testing of toxic drugs on humans.
According to Kirillov, biolaboratories can be divided into three levels in terms of the degree of bio security. First-level laboratories are tasked to collect microorganism strains and their agents in the endemic environment and to prepare biomaterials for further transfer. Second-level laboratories conduct research with agents of highly dangerous infectious diseases and prepare strains of microorganisms from state collections for being taking out of the country. Third-level laboratories have premises of the highest-class biological isolation and are tasked to receive information about the biological situation in concrete countries and territories Pentagon plans to use to deploy its contingents in.
Kirrillov stressed that while carrying out its activities toward establishing a global biological control the United States is substituting provisions of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) and other norms of international law for its own rules developed in the American interests, supported by the collective West and being imposed on third countries. "It makes it possible for the United States to freely conduct biological research outside the national territory. And those countries that are participating in such research lose their national sovereignty in the security sphere, falling under total dependence from the United States," he added.
