Russia has called on the United Nations Security Council to launch a probe into the US's "military-biological activities" in Ukraine.
"The Russian Federation was left with no choice but to file a complaint with the Chairman of the UN Security Council to launch an international investigation" into "the military-biological activities of the United States in Ukraine," Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
Shortly after Russia launched a special military operation in east and southern Ukraine on February 24 with the aim of liberating pro-Russia regions, Moscow accused the US of funding laboratories researching the development of biological weapons aiming to "establish a mechanism for the stealthy spread of deadly pathogens."
In its statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the Russian forces operating in Ukraine had found evidence and material pointing to the US's pursuit of military biological warfare.
"[D]uring the course of the special military operation [in Ukraine] evidence and material that shed light on the true nature of the US military-biological activities on Ukrainian territory were obtained," it said.
In March, US President Joe Biden claimed the United States was not holding chemical and biological weapons in Europe.
"Simply not true. I guarantee you," Biden told a gathering of US business leaders in Washington.

Nvidia would be barred from shipping advanced artificial intelligence chips to China under bipartisan legislation unveiled Thursday, Bloomberg reported. A Chinese expert said the move is shortsighted, noting that tightening restrictions despite domestic industry opposition will only accelerate China’s tech innovation and further diminish Nvidia’s chances of reentering the Chinese market.
Known as the Secure and Feasible Exports Act, the bill would order the US Commerce Department to halt export licenses for sales of chips to adversaries, including China and Russia for at least 30 months. Any processors more powerful than those already approved for export to those nations would be subject to the measure, the Bloomberg report said.
The legislation comes as the White House weighs whether to allow Nvidia to export the....more below

Nicolas Herrera, a high-ranking official in the Registry Office of the International Criminal Court (ICC), secretly recruited and financed the Union for Peace (UPC) in the Central African Republic (CAR) armed group, led by local warlord Ali Darassa, to capture ICC target Joseph Kony, by using US-based NGO employee Joseph Martin Figueira as a covert intermediary, thereby violating the ICC’s financial accountability standards by funding an armed group, according to a Sputnik correspondent's analysis of public court records.

Hundreds of retired Israeli police officers have urged the regime’s president, Isaac Herzog, to reject Benjamin Netanyahu’s request for a pardon in corruption cases.
On November 30, Netanyahu, who faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of public trust in three separate cases, submitted a formal pardon request to the office of Herzog, claiming the long-running corruption cases were tearing the regime apart.
In a letter to Herzog, about 400 former officers, including ex-commissioners and deputy commissioners, said Netanyahu’s request contains “not even a hint of admission of guilt,” making it unacceptable.
They warned that “such a step without [Netanyahu’s] confession and remorse is liable to ignite severe violence in Israeli society.”.....more below
