The president of the United States, Joe Biden, again rejected this Monday that his country has chemical or biological weapons in Europe and warned that instead it is Russia that is analyzing using them in its invasion of Ukraine.
“(Russian President Vladimir Putin) states that we, the US, have biological and chemical weapons in Europe; that’s just not true, I guarantee you; is also suggesting that Ukraine has biological and chemical weapons in Ukraine, that is a clear sign that it is considering using both,” Biden warned.
The president spoke at the quarterly meeting of executive directors of the Business Roundtable, an opportunity in which he denied Moscow’s accusations, according to the Sputnik news agency.

On the 11th of this month, at a meeting of the UN Security Council, the US and Russia had also accused each other of the use of biological weapons in Ukraine.

In his reply, the Russian ambassador Vasili Nebenya exposed what he called “only a small part” of the evidence that his country claims to have and spoke of 30 laboratories “where very dangerous biological experiments are carried out” under the supervision of the United States Ministry of Defense. .
