UNITED NATIONS, March 18. /TASS/. US attempts to accuse Russia of intent to use biological and chemical weapons in Ukraine is utmost cynicism, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said during the UN Security Council meeting Friday.

"If you can debunk this [information about US projects in Ukrainian biological laboratories] - then do it. But not with groundless claims about Russian propaganda, but with answers to our questions. You, however, refuse to do it simply because you have nothing to say," Nebenzya noted.

"Instead, you seek to accuse us of intent to use biological and chemical weapons in Ukraine. This is utmost cynicism," the envoy said. "We have warned already, that we know and we have information about Ukrainian nationalists transporting poisonous chemicals to certain areas, in order to carry out a provocation and accuse Russia of it. This is a so-called false flag operation."

"I’ve said it already, and you didn’t listen closely, the US in particular. We did not say, as the US representative said, that Ukraine itself has a military biological program," the diplomat noted. "We’ve said that it is the US that has such program, and Ukraine was used ‘blindly’."

According to the envoy, Russia provided facts about a mysterious spike of dangerous infections in Ukraine that could not be explained by natural factors.

"We will not take this issue from the agenda. New facts will most likely be revealed shortly, and we will inform the UN Security Council and the international community about them," Nebenzya said.
