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.

Defying the United States threats, ministers from more than 30 nations have packed Bogotá’s San Carlos Palace to charge the Israeli regime with genocide over its October 2023-present brutal military assault against the Gaza Strip.
