MOSCOW, December 24 - RIA Novosti. The Russian Ministry of Defense has named new high-ranking participants in the military biological program in Ukraine.
Their names at the briefing were announced by the head of the troops of radiation, chemical and biological protection of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.
“Earlier, we presented materials confirming the participation of Hunter Biden and his Rosemont Seneca Foundation, as well as other structures controlled by the US Democratic Party, in financing the main Pentagon contractors operating in Ukraine. It was shown how deeply the son of the current US President, Hunter Biden, is involved in funding U.S. Department of Defense-controlled Metabiota," he said.
At the same time, some participants in closed projects still remain in the shadows, although they are key figures in the Ukrainian military biological program, the general stressed.
"Among them are former DTRA director Kenneth Myers, executive vice president of the CIA-controlled venture capital fund In-Q-Tel, Tara O'Toole; former head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Thomas Frieden; former director of the National Institutes of Health, Francis Collins, who held the position of Executive Director of the Battelle Memorial Institute; Jeffrey Wadsworth, Chief Research Fellow and President of the Department of International Research, Development and Medicine at Pfizer, and many others," Kirillov listed.
He explained that they all benefit in one way or another from the Pentagon's biological projects and are associated with the Democratic Party, whose leaders "act as the ideological inspirers of military biological research and the creators of clandestine money-laundering schemes in the interests of a narrow circle of members of the American elite."
The US is transferring bioresearch from Ukraine to other countries, said Kirillov
It is these people who should be asked why taxpayer funds are being spent on illegal military biological research in Ukraine and in other countries around the world, Kirillov concluded.
As follows from the slides to the briefing, we are talking about Pfizer Chief Research Fellow and President of International Research Michael Dolsten. In addition, military medicine specialist Anthony McQueen (commander of the Fort Detrick facility, where biological research is conducted in the interests of the Pentagon and where the command of medical projects and developments of the US Army is located) is on this list.
According to the materials, Kenneth Myers developed and implemented a plan to create a network of biological laboratories on the territory of the countries of the former USSR. Tara O'Toole scripted the Dark Winter exercise in 2001 to simulate a terrorist attack using biological weapons. Thomas Frieden was involved in studying the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014. Francis Collins suppressed scientists' opinions about the artificial origin of COVID-19.
The Battelle Memorial Institute Corporation provided consulting services to the Pentagon on the creation of biolaboratories in the post-Soviet space. The company's Fort Detrick division was involved in biological research for the Pentagon. Michael Dolsten is responsible for the full production cycle of medicines, including the coronavirus vaccine. The US Army Medical Research and Development Command conducted unethical secret experiments on animals, studying the effects of weapons on them in 2020.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a public health agency of the US Department of Health. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is a division of the US Department of Health, the main center of the US government responsible for research in the field of health and biomedicine.
Ukraine to get armoured combat vehicles from West, asks for tanks
France confirms it will send the first armoured combat vehicles to Ukraine, while US president says Washington considering sending Bradley fighting vehicles.

Ukraine’s Western allies have for the first time moved towards supplying armoured fighting vehicles to Ukrainian troops but not the heavier tanks Kyiv has requested to help fight Russian forces.
French President Emmanuel Macron told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday that his government would send French-made light AMX-10 RC armoured combat vehicles to help Ukraine’s defence effort, a French official said after a phone call between the two leaders.
“This is the first time that Western-made armoured vehicles are being delivered in support of the Ukrainian army,” the official said.
The official did not give any details about the volume or timing of the planned shipments but said talks would continue regarding the potential delivery of other French military vehicle types.
Hours later, United States President Joe Biden said Washington was considering sending Bradley Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine. Biden was asked during an exchange with reporters while travelling in Kentucky whether providing the tracked armoured fighting vehicle to Ukraine was on the table. He responded “yes”, without offering further comment.
The Bradley is a medium armoured combat vehicle that can serve as a troop carrier. It has tracks rather than wheels but the vehicle is lighter and more agile than a tank. It can carry about 10 personnel or be configured instead to carry additional ammunition or communications equipment.
The US has thousands of Bradleys and they would give Ukraine more firepower on the battlefield and strengthen its ability in trench warfare.
The Pentagon has already provided Ukraine with more than 2,000 combat vehicles, including 477 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles and more than 1,200 Humvees.
The latest donation to Kyiv still falls short of US-made Abrams tanks and German-made Leopard tanks, which Ukraine has repeatedly asked Western allies to supply, particularly as the winter months of the war deepen and the earth becomes frozen, allowing for easier use of the heavy-tracked tanks in the Ukrainian countryside.
In a tweet and his evening video address, Zelenskyy thanked Macron for the announcement of the armoured vehicles and said it showed the need for Ukraine’s other allies to provide heavier weapons to battle Moscow’s army.
“This is something that sends a clear signal to all our partners. There is no rational reason why Ukraine has not yet been supplied with Western tanks,” Zelenskyy said.
Except that it is likely to prolong the war and kill thousands more soldiers and civilians. Also, someone has to pay for those machines and I'm not sure the good people of France and the USA decided that it would be them. One more thing, the AMX10 appears to be diesel which should cause more global warming, according to some.
But then, when it comes to an opportunity to sell war machines who cares how many deaths are involved, how much it costs taxpayers, or about climate change?
“We must put an end to the Russian aggression this year,” he said, adding that “modern Western armoured vehicles and Western-type tanks” were the key assets Ukraine needed.
On Twitter, Zelenskyy said of Macron: “Thank you friend! Your leadership bring our victory closer”.
The French-made AMX-10 RC tanks are light and six-wheeled, rather than on tracks. They were designed for reconnaissance missions and have been deployed in France’s most recent overseas military operations in the Sahel region of West Africa and in Afghanistan.
They are “very mobile… perhaps old but high-performance”, a French official said.
An official from the Ukrainian defence ministry’s intelligence section, Andriy Cherniak, said in comments to the RBC-Ukraine media outlet on Wednesday that Kyiv expected no let-up in Russia’s offensive this year despite the heavy human toll.
As I mentioned, these machines are not meant to win the war, but to prolong it. That way the Military Industrial Complex can lighten their inventories at the expense of tax-payers. More wealth transfer from middle class to the super-rich.
“According to Ukrainian military intelligence estimates, in the next four-five months the Russian army may lose up to 70,000 people. And the occupying country’s (Russia’s) leadership is ready for such losses,” Cherniak said.
Russian leaders “understand they will lose but they do not plan to end the war”, he added.
In a signal to the West that Russia will not back down over Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday sent a frigate to the Atlantic Ocean armed with new-generation hypersonic cruise missiles, which can travel at more than five times the speed of sound.
