The report, collected by Moscow, is provided through special channels, particularly the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in The Hague, but also in New York, Ryabkov said. The deputy foreign minister pointed out that, in the last two years, Russian military forces have collected “exhaustive and super-voluminous material to expose the deep interaction between Washington and Kiev in this field.

They even carry out activities in breach of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, which eventually means that components of biological weapons are created in Ukraine, Ryabkov stressed.

Both actions are unacceptable and they are condemned not only by us but also by the wider international community, the senior diplomat concluded.
