MOSCOW, March 31. /TASS/. The United States views developing countries as a testing range for biological weapons components and medications, Chief of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops Igor Kirillov said on Thursday.

"Disregard for Ukrainian citizens is a good illustration of the United States’ rather pragmatic approach to organizing military biological research. Developing countries are viewed as a testing range for biological weapons components and medications," he emphasized.

According to Kirillov, corresponding documents make it clear that the United States and Ukraine actually violated their obligations under Article 4 of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 dated April 28, 2004. "We will continue to analyze the documentary evidence of violations of international agreements on the non-proliferation of biological weapons, committed by the US administration and the Kiev regime, and will keep you informed," Kirillov said.
