US says Russia may use chemical and biological weapons against Ukraine

US says Russia may use chemical and biological weapons against Ukraine. 

On Wednesday, Joe Biden, who is in charge of the United States, said that Russia might use chemical or biological weapons against Ukraine. 

The US has hit back at Russia after the country that used to be part of the Soviet Union said that illegal chemical weapons are being made in the country it has taken over. 

The White House said that Russia’s claims that chemical weapons were being made illegally in Ukraine were false.

This week, Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that Ukraine was running chemical and biological weapons labs in its own country. 

The US White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, called this claim “preposterous” and said it could be an attempt by Russia to lay the groundwork for using these weapons of mass destruction against Ukraine.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Psaki said that “this is all an obvious ploy by Russia to try to justify its next planned, unprovoked, and unjustified attack against Ukraine.” 

People should be on the lookout for Russia to use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine or set up a “false flag” operation.

The US has been warning about Russian “false flag” operations for a long time. 

But, instead, they want to use them as a reason to invade. WARNING: Wednesday’s warning suggested that Russia might try to make the two-week-old conflict look like it isn’t going to get any worse. The Russian offensive has been slowed but not stopped.

On Wednesday, press secretary John Kirby said that the Russian claim was “a bunch of shit.” 

The international community has thought for a long time that Russia has used chemical weapons before to try to kill Putin enemies like Alexey Navalny and former spy Sergei Skripal. 

Russia also backs the Assad government in Syria, which has used chemical weapons against its people for a decade in a civil war that has been going on for a long time.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that when a Russian journalist asked about the claims, he said that. However, we don’t have any information right now to back up the reports or the claims about these kinds of labs.

Asked by Dujarric if the World Health Organization, which has been working with the governments of Ukraine, had found any violations of Ukraine’s international treaty obligations, Dujarric said, “No, they haven’t found anything.”
