France Says UN Unaware of Any Biological Weapons Programs in Ukraine

Nicolas de Riviere, permanent representative of France to the United Nations (UN), said that the Russian Federation is using the UN Security Council as a platform for propaganda to justify an unjustified war.

In an emergency session on Ukraine, the french official said that the UN is unaware of any biological weapons programs in Ukraine, adding that the repeated publication of such false information would not turn these allegations into reality.

Moreover, he added that in 2011, the Russian Federation accused Georgia of developing biological weapons without any evidence, expressing concern that this disinformation campaign is a prelude to the use of chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine,
