Russia and China Falsely Accuse U.S. of Use of Biological Weapons Against Russians: Biden to avoid WWIII
War rhetoric and accusations have reached dangerous heights, as Even Biden, complicit it multiple ongoing wars according to intelligence analysts , admits that this war is a different more dangerous ballgame.
“We will not fight a war against Russia and Ukraine. Direct confrontation between NATO and Russia is World War Three. Something we must strive to prevent.”
While NATO continues to make itself relevant it blames Putin for nuclear blackmail denies wanting direct involvement in the war, according to the VOA report.
“Are we fully aware of the danger of not doing anything? If I look at that recent history, actually the risk of standing on the sidelines and clamouring that we are covering the NATO allies’ backs but our mission stops at the NATO border, that risk I think is no longer acceptable.”
“NATO still is saying that it will not intervene on Ukrainian territory, but increasingly Western weapons are flowing into Ukraine through NATO member states,” notes Constanze Stelzenmüller, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Brookings Institution.
Hundreds of troops from the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division have deployed in the forested mountains of eastern Poland, just a few kilometers from the Ukrainian border. That puts them in close proximity to recent Russian airstrikes on targets in western Ukraine, VOA reports.
The contingent is part of a wider deployment of some 5,000 U.S. troops sent to Poland in recent weeks and is in addition to the 4,000 American soldiers already in the country.
NATO has said the deployments send a message to Moscow: that the alliance will defend “every inch” of its territory.
Russia and China Falsely Accusing Use of Biological Weapons Against Russians, Say Officials
MARCH 10, 2022 | BY DAVID VERGUN, DOD NEWS
The United States is not assisting Ukraine with biological weapons in its war with Russia and there are no indications that biological weapons are being used by Ukraine, said a Defense Department official.
Two senior defense officials held an on-background press briefing at the Pentagon today.
There are five biological research laboratories in Kyiv. Their work focuses on diagnostics, therapeutics, treatments, prevention and vaccines, not on military use as the Russians and Chinese accuse, the official said.
“There are no DOD bio-weapon labs in Ukraine or anywhere else in the world,” the official said.
The Biological Weapons Convention effectively prohibits the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of biological and toxin weapons.
It was the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning an entire category of weapons of mass destruction. The United States, Ukraine and Russia signed onto it in 1972 and all three ratified it in 1975.
Situation on the Ground in Ukraine
The Russians have moved about five kilometers closer to Kyiv since yesterday and are now about 40 kilometers east of the city, the official said.
There are multiple lines of advancements toward Kyiv, with the assessed intent of encircling the Ukrainian capital. However, their progress to do so hasn’t been effective, the official said.
Security assistance continues to flow into Ukraine from the U.S. and NATOallies, the official said.
Spotlight: NATO
“The Ukrainians are putting up a very stiff resistance,” the official said.
The Ukrainians still have most of their fixed wing fighter aircraft available to them, the official said.
The Ukrainians are very effectively using surface-to-air missile systems and anti-armor munitions to slow the Russian advance, particularly in the north, the official said.
