It is stressed that the Pentagon is rushing to transfer all its unfinished Ukrainian research projects to Central Asian and Eastern European countries Chief of Russian Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Force Igor Kirillov Russian Defence Ministry/TASS Chief of Russian Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Force Igor Kirillov © Russian Defence Ministry/TASS MOSCOW, January 30. /TASS/. The Russian Defense Ministry’s active operations put the skids on Washington’s implementation of its military-biological programs on Ukrainian soil, Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops Igor Kirillov said on Monday.
"Thanks to its active operations, the Defense Ministry of Russia managed to halt the implementation of military-biological programs on Ukrainian soil," he told a briefing on the analysis of the documents on the US military-biological activity.
In this situation, the Pentagon is rushing to transfer all its unfinished Ukrainian research projects to Central Asian and Eastern European countries. Simultaneously, it is ramping up cooperation with African and Asia-Pacific states like Kenya, Singapore and Thailand, he said.
Participants in the programs Some time ago, the Russian Defense Ministry divulged the names of the participants in the military-biological programs, among them are members of the US Democratic Party, the staff of the Pentagon and its contractors, Kirillov revealed.
"From the DTRA [Defense Threat Reduction Agency] reports, we have received new information on key figures of the so-called Ukrainian projects who have remained in the shadows until now," he said.
"Among them are Karen Saylors, executive director of Labyrinth Global Health and former director of Metabiota in Central Africa. From 2016, Saylors worked in Ukraine as a leading consultant for the UP-10 project focused on the study of the spread of African swine fever," Kirillov said.
Another figure is Colin Johnson, staffer of Tennessee State University and director of the Host-Pathogen Interactions Institute, he specified.
"As the supervisor of the UP-8 project for the study of the areas of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever agents and Hantaviruses in Ukraine, Johnson was in charge of the process of taking biological samples from Ukrainian military personnel and ensured American customers’ interaction with the Public Health Center of the Ukrainian Health Ministry," Kirillov said.
Lewis Von Thaer is president and executive director of Battelle, a large contractor for the Pentagon and the US Department of Energy, he specified.
"From 2003, the company supervised research projects on Ukrainian soil related to zoonotic infections," the chief of Russia’s radiation, chemical and biological protection troops said.
All the materials received will be handed over to Russia’s Investigative Committee to take measures for bringing the culprits to justice, he said.

Moscow provides more evidence of US biolabs in Ukraine Kiev’s troops were among the test subjects for Pentagon-funded research, the Russian MOD says Moscow provides more evidence of US biolabs in Ukraine © Getty Images/Milos Dimic Russia’s Defense Ministry on Monday laid out more evidence that US-funded laboratories were working in Ukraine. Documents and materials recovered by Russian troops showed that Western pharmaceutical companies operating in territory under Kiev’s control conducted HIV/AIDS research on Ukrainian military personnel.
The commander of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, presented Ukrainian-language documents referring to HIV infection studies that began in 2019. The list of targeted groups shows service members alongside prisoners, drug addicts and other “patients at high risk of infection.”
According to Kirillov, the Russian military has recovered more than 20,000 documents and other materials related to the biological programs in Ukraine, while interviewing eyewitnesses and participants. The evidence “confirms the focus of the Pentagon on creating biological weapons components and testing them on the population of Ukraine and other states along [Russia’s] borders,” the general told reporters.
Based on documents originating with the Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the Russian military identified eight more individuals involved in the US-funded research in Ukraine. Among the names Kirillov singled out was Karen Saylors of Labyrinth Global Health, previously of Metabiota, a company linked to US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter.
US 'military biological activities' a threat to the world – Russia Read more US 'military biological activities' a threat to the world – Russia The latest trove of documents, belonging to the company Pharmbiotest, was unearthed in Lisichansk in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) early in January, Kirillov noted.
“Clinical samples and patient records with their personal data were buried, and not cremated or destroyed in a proper fashion. This suggests that the destruction of this evidence was carried out in extreme haste,” the lieutenant general said.
In October 2022, Russia filed an official complaint over alleged US-backed biological activities in Ukraine and requested a UN probe into the matter. The UN Security Council rejected Moscow’s proposal after the US, UK, and France voted against it. The US opposition “once again confirms that Washington has something to hide, and that ensuring the transparency of biological research is contrary to US interests,” Kirillov said.
As evidence of the widespread threat posed by the Pentagon’s biological research conducted beyond America’s borders, Kirillov referred to the previously mentioned US involvement in coronavirus studies, including by funding the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance that contracted with the laboratory in Wuhan, China.
Kirillov also brought up the 1977 outbreak of Rift Valley Fever in Egypt, near a biological laboratory run by the US Navy. The disease previously known only south of the Sahara made a surprise appearance in Cairo a few months after the lab employees were vaccinated against it, the general said. Moreover, the Cairo strain was “highly pathogenic” compared to the disease’s normal flu-like symptoms, suggesting the involvement of gain-of-function experiments.
