Konstantin Kosachev-Correspondent

Despite the desperate resistance of the United States and the states acting as its submissive satellites, a final document was adopted following the results of the IX Review Conference on Compliance with the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC), which was held in Geneva. 

This makes it possible for Russia and other countries to ensure compliance with the Convention, as well as to call for a thorough review of incidents related to its systematic violation, primarily by the United States.

This was stated by the Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council following a meeting of the parliamentary commission to investigate the circumstances related to the creation of biological laboratories by American specialists on the territory of Ukraine.

The Senator also announced the creation of a working group, which was formed following the results of the IX Review Conference. Its main task is to consider issues on improving the mechanism of the Convention, including those proposed by Russia. 

In addition, information about the work of the Russian parliamentary commission will be sent to this group, the parliamentarian added.

“During today’s discussion of our parliamentary commission, we made a consensus decision to send information to this working group on the BTWC about the activities of our commission, about the conclusions that we have already worked out over the year. 

“To invite this working group to thoroughly study, among other things, the latest documents that have appeared in public access somewhere on a systematic basis, and somewhere due to an oversight of American censors,” Konstantin Kosachev said.
