UNITED NATIONS, May 13. /TASS/: Russia intends to submit materials to the UN Security Council for conducting an investigation into military biological activities in Ukraine as part of international agreements, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said on Friday at a UNSC meeting that Russia called to discuss US biolaboratories in Ukraine.
"We have already built up a significant amount of material directly pointing to a violation by the US of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, he said. "We continue to collect and analyze these materials."
"Given that the US refuses any constructive discussion on this topic, we plan to use the mechanisms provided for in Articles 5 and 6 of the BTWC (they provide for the possibility of submitting evidence to the UNSC to initiate an investigation - TASS)," the envoy said.
"As soon as the collection of materials is completed, we will submit them to the Council for an investigation," Nebenzya said. "We hope that this will make it possible to permanently stop military biological activities that threaten international peace and security, and hold the perpetrators accountable.".
