OREANDA-NEWS State Duma Vice Speaker Irina Yarovaya claims that the United States was planning to implement a global military-biological project in Ukraine, TASS reports.

The Pentagon has repeatedly announced peaceful cooperation with biolaboratories in Ukraine. However, according to Yarovaya, this only confirms the US plans to implement a dangerous military-biological project.

Irina Yarovaya claims that the Pentagon has developed a military-biological intelligence network and military-biological testing facilities. These developments were conducted under the "secret" label.

Earlier, the Pentagon reported that the U.S. had legally supported 46 civilian biolaboratories in Ukraine over the past 20 years. The work was carried out as part of peaceful medical and agricultural projects. At the time, the agency stressed that the Ukrainian laboratories did not differ from similar medical and scientific facilities around the world.
