Magsasagawa ng urgent meeting ngayong Biyernes ang UN Security Council sa kahilingan ng Russia, kaugnay ng umano’y pagbuo ng biological weapons sa Ukraine.

Nitong Huwebes, ay inakusahan ng Russia ang Estados Unidos ng pagpopondo sa research sa development ng biological weapons sa Ukraine, na sinalakay ng libu-libong tropa ng Russia simula noong February 24.

Kapwa itinanggi ng Washington at Kyiv na mayroong mga laboratoryo na ang intensiyon ay gumawa ng biological weapons sa Ukraine, at sinabi ng Estados Unidos na ang mga alegasyon ay senyales na maaaring ang Moscow mismo ang gagamit nito sa hinaharap.

Inakusahan ng mga estado sa Kanluran ang Russia na gumagamit ito ng panlilinlang sa pamamagitan ng pag-akusa sa kanilang mga kalaban at sa Estados Unidos ng pagbuo ng biological at chemical weapons, para pagtakpan ang posibilidad na gamitin nila ito sa Ukraine, isang bagay na ibinibintang na ginawa na nito sa Syria.

Sa isang buwanang pulong ng Security Council tungkol sa paggamit ng mga sandatang kemikal sa Syria — isang kaso na nananatiling hindi nareresolba at patuloy na dumaranas ng kakulangan ng impormasyon mula sa Damascus na tinuligsa naman ng UN, parehong binanggit ng Washington at London ang Ukraine.

Ayon kay US envoy to the UN Richard Mills . . . “The Russian Federation has repeatedly spread disinformation regarding Syria’s repeated use of chemical weapons. The recent web of lies that Russia has cast in an attempt to justify the premeditated and unjustified war it has undertaken against Ukraine, should make clear, once and for all, that Russia also cannot be trusted when it talks about chemical weapon use in Syria.”

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – FEBRUARY 28: Richard M. Mills, Deputy Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations, speaks during a Security Council meeting to address the invasion of Ukraine at the United Nations headquarters on on February 28, 2022 in New York City. The U.N. Security Council voted on Sunday to hold a rare emergency special session of the General Assembly to discuss Russia’s attack on Ukraine. The meeting gave all 193 members of the global body a chance to present their views on the invasion. Russia voted against the resolution but they did not have veto power under U.N. regulations. On Sunday Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces to be on high alert, further increasing tensions. The two sides agreed to meet for negotiations on the border with Belarus, as the European Union moved to close its airspace to all Russian planes. (Photo by Michael M.

Tinuligsa ng UK counterpart ni Mills na si James Kariuki, ang pag-atake ng Moscow sa Ukraine at sinabing malinaw ang pagkakapareho ng naging aksyon ng Russia sa Syria.

Aniya . . . “Regrettably, the comparison also extends to chemical weapons, as we see the familiar specter of Russian chemical weapons disinformation raising its head in Ukraine.”

Noong 2018, inakusahan ng Moscow ang Estados Unidos ng palihim na pagsasagawa ng biological weapons experiments sa isang laboratoryo sa Georgia, isa pang dating Soviet republic na gaya ng Ukraine, ay nag-aambisyon ding sumanib sa NATO at sa European Union.
