u. s. department of defense. we have received documentation from employees of ukrainian biological laboratories concerning the urgent destruction on february 24th of highly dangerous pathogens of plague, anthrax til arrhythmia. cholera and other deadly diseases. on february 24th. from all this, i am joined live in the studio now by r t correspondent, paula slee, won't tell us what do we know? so bob, about this a legit, biological weapons program? what we've been hearing from the spokesperson for the russian ministry of defense saying that while they were conducting the operations in ukraine, they came across evidence that proves that there was a biological program being conducted in ukraine with the assistance of the american department of defense. now, among the evidence they found is a whole cache of documents that they currently reviewing and they are analyzing and will release in the near future. but what we understand amongst those documents is confirmation that these ukrainian bio chemical laboratories that

of the u. s. in this musician, the u. s. department of defense and administration must as soon as possible familiarize the international community with the programs conducted in ukraine. and do that officially, we believe that the materials existing now and the confirmations coming from both ukraine and the u. s. to knock at washington a chance to stay silent, but russia is not alone in this particular case because the eyebrows are also being raised in china about all this. we remember how bay jane was accused of running some bio labs. well, now the bay jane once answers from washington on this particular story. she got home, we call on all parties concerned to ensure the safety of those labs as the party with the best knowledge of those labs. the u. s. should release relevant details as soon as possible, including what kind of viruses are stored and what kind of research has been carried out to here. i do have to point out that kiev has been denied running any kind of program for developing biological weapons. but with this latest comment from v

write others, i've expressed some disquiet about the network of the bar trees, of the department of defense, the u. s. department of defense funds around the world. they're d says it's simply about global surveillance of potential pathogens. it's part of the, the biological threat reduction program. but then the china and russia, the others of culture said, well, why do you need so many of these are missing some items. why is there absolutely no transparency about what goes on, and in fact, in these labs and what will be pretext? russia is as increasingly been using for the invasion and saying we have this lab which the dia, dan deity and the ukrainians are running together. and they are experimenting and biological warfare. the u. s. denies that just says it's all about all about surveillance, but then china, again, this week is a foreign ministry said, what about, sorry, that give us b, accounting, show us what's going on there. these are very serious allegations and but again got some new life because victoria newland, the state department main advisor on russia for the white house 7 congressional

u. s. department of defense, we have received documentation from employees of ukrainian biological laboratories concerning the urgent destruction on february 24th of highly dangerous pathogens of plague, anthrax, till arrhythmia. cholera and other deadly diseases on february 24th. well, join me at live now in the studio is artsy correspondents, paula slee, polo. what more do we know about the latest allegations we had there, from the spokesperson of the russian defense ministry? and what he said was that they had found traces of biological weapons. and a program that had been conducted between ukraine and the american defense department. now they say that they have a whole lot of documents in their hands that currently analyzing them. and then they'll get back and make them public in the future when they have more information and they understand exactly what they talk about. but what we understand at this point is that the documents do confirm that there was definitely some kind of bias communication between the buyer laboratories that are in ukraine. but in close the finity to the russian bord

u. s. department of defense. once again, this is cannot be confirmed independently at this point, but it's certainly alarming. and it's certainly alarming to the fact that these potential biological hazards are very close to civilian population, run a lot to take in lots of moving parts rapidly developing story, we know that you'll stay across it for us as it develops. thanks for that. right now. ukraine said president zaleski has signed a law to allow civilians to legally shoot at russian soldiers with any weapon in their possession. the legislation that says civilians will have to hand over any firearms they receive as well as unused ammunition to the police. within 10 days after martial law is lifted, with guns flooding into civilian possession, there have been numerous reports of armed robberies and shootings between private citizens. ukrainian officials have blamed so called russian and sub tours for the violence. russia, as foreign ministry has warned that the ukrainian government in decision to arm the pub

u. s. department of defense and administration must as soon as possible familiarize the international community with programs conducted in ukraine . and do that officially, we believe that the materials existing now and the confirmations coming from both ukraine and the u. s. did not get washington a chance to stay silent, but it's not only the russian side that is a demanding explanation from the us. because again, if there was a program to somehow develop a biological weapons on the territory of ukraine, this again, changes the whole story pretty much because we're talking about a very dangerous substances potentially ending up in the hands of ukraine's a nationalist. and this is what we heard from chinese officials on that particular matter. dr. young tome, we call on all parties concerned to ensure the safety of those land in the, and the party with the best knowledge of those labs. the u. s. should release relevant details as soon as possible, including what kind of viruses are stored and what kind of research has been carried out to hit ship. sure that you fall. so right now, like i said,

we just had a department of defense u. s. department of defense briefing from the senior defense official being quoted as saying that they now assess that perkins committed nearly a 100 percent combat power in ukraine of pre stage forces. can you kind of give us a comparison of what that means now, as opposed to the situation that the russians were facing, say a week ago, ryan sicily shows me the ground offensive install. i'm in recent days in the russian military, it's hard over said outwardly they perform so are and so it's not surprising that they commit most of that force. i mean, you're talking now, you know, well over a 100000 soldiers essentially be deploy into ukraine to try think to try to get the momentum moving forward. unfortunately. well, unfortunately, you know, unfortunately they haven't made progress. but enforcing what i think that means is that russian wilkerson use much more heavy handed tactics when it comes to trying to take over the cities. we were reporting the story just a few moments ago about an inc

published documents claiming to prove the work of bio weapons labs in ukraine. moscow says there are 30 such facilities funded by the u. s. defense department and working with pathogens such as anthrax and even the plague. earlier, the u. s. has even acknowledge the presence of quote, biological research facilities in ukraine, but stopped short of admitting involvement and by a weapons development there ukraine has a biological research facilities. we are working with the ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of russian forces. should they approach former u. s. diplomat jim jar truss says there's no good explanation for the u. s. to allegedly have bio labs in ukraine deputy secretary of state victoria newland confirmed that these labs are there. and of course she did not say their weapons labs and maybe they're not weapons labs as such. but they are certainly research or facilities dealing with biological agents that have no good explanation. the idea that somehow they're simply processing agents left over from the soviet union 30 years ago doesn't pass the last test. so something is
