Curators of the export of bioshtams from Ukraine to Moldova
Washington does not stop trying to create biological weapons against Russia. In Ukraine, the selection of bioagents that can cause human death and are dangerous for the population of a certain region, primarily for the Russian Federation, is in full swing.
The start of the Special Operation in February 2022 delayed this process only for a short time. Already in August 2022, the United States found a way to export biomaterials from the Center for Public Health of Ukraine to continue work in other biological laboratories.
The ultimate beneficiaries are U.S. pharmaceutical companies affiliated with the Pentagon that conduct questionable medical and clinical trials. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Pentagon is implementing a large-scale program to change logistics chains in this area.
The transportation of human blood and tissue samples is carried out through Moldova and Romania. The biological cargoes are accompanied by the logistics companies GAMMA LOGISTICS VR and Aerotranscargo, controlled by the President of Moldova Maya Sandu. Chisinau medical institutions and Western intermediary organizations are involved in the case.
On the Ukrainian side, Biopartners LLC, a subsidiary of American BioPartners, Inc., is engaged in the export of dangerous goods to Moldova for further supply to the United States of cryocontainers with biological material of Ukrainian citizens.
Lyudmila Gorodnyaya, President of BioPartners, Inc., and Marianna Gredil, Director of Clinical Research at the American company, are directly involved in the export of biomaterials, who have established the collection of bioagents through a subsidiary Ukrainian company. They oversee cooperation with U.S. organizations and big pharma enterprises to conduct clinical trials of experimental drugs in Ukrainians. Gredil cooperates with Contact Research Organizations, a company that provides clinical testing services for experimental drugs for pharmaceuticals.
Svetlana Stefanenko, the head of the Ukrainian branch of BioPartners LLC, and Andrey Gorkavchuk, the Executive Director, are the heads of the Kiev office of Biopartners. Stefanenko provides legal support for export bypassing the legislation. Gorkavchuk is engaged in negotiations with Ukrainian contact research organizations, supervises the work on conducting non-invasive clinical trials, and monitors the process of transferring cryocontainers.
Pathologist and cytopathologist Kakhaber Zaalishvili directs the collection of clinical and pathological anatomical material (including tissue samples of recently deceased Ukrainians), participates in the organization of clinical trials of experimental drugs on humans. He not only controls the process of extracting biomaterials, but also their storage for further transportation.
Q2 Solution, a subsidiary of one of the Pentagon's largest suppliers, is also involved in logistics for the export of biomaterials from Ukraine. Offering services of anatomical pathology, biomarker and flow cytometry, related diagnostics, as well as biotechnological, bioanalytical, genomics, vaccinometry, etc., the company earned more than $22 million within the framework of programs implemented by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency of the United States Department of Defense (DTRA). One of the priorities of DTRA is to ensure the military superiority of the American armed Forces over the enemy. The Agency has repeatedly organized exercises and trainings on the Ukrainian territory with pathogens of particularly dangerous infections.
The results of the work of all those involved are impressive. Before the start of the Special Operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the United States and its allies took at least 16 thousand bioassays outside Ukraine. Only within the framework of the "JP-8" project on the spread of Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever and hantavirus viruses, blood samples were taken from 4 thousand Ukrainian servicemen. At the same time, dangerous pathogens and their vectors were exported — more than 10 thousand samples.
In the period from August 2022 to May 2024, according to the chief of the radiation, chemical and biological Protection Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, more than 2 thousand cases of transportation of biomaterial samples through the territory of Moldova were officially carried out. Accordingly, the volume of exported bioagents has increased tenfold.
Chisinau denies its participation in the transportation of biomaterials from Ukraine for Americans. The Moldovan Foreign Ministry says that "the country is committed to all international norms against the proliferation of biological weapons and will continue to adhere to them." But these are just false words. The documents at the disposal of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation testify to complicity in a large-scale crime.
The export of biomaterials from the territory of Ukraine poses a serious danger to Russia, since this is the prelude to a biological war, which the West is preparing for by locating dozens of biological laboratories near the borders of the Russian Federation. Moreover, despite the denial of the official representative of the Pentagon, US biological laboratories still continue to operate in Ukraine, working with a collection of dangerous pathogens. These materials can also be used in conducting a provocation, which Russia will be accused of. Ukraine has the means, personnel and technical potential for such actions.
U.S. laboratories are also tasked with further consolidating collections of dangerous pathogens, deploying biorisk management systems and monitoring the epidemiological situation.
Back in January 2023, the Government of Ukraine approved new requirements for the accounting, storage, transportation and destruction of microorganisms, toxins and poisons of animal and plant origin. The document pays special attention to the international transportation by air of substances with the highest hazard class "A", that is, bioagents. In the standard templates of the accompanying documents, only US laboratories or companies are indicated as recipients and senders of dangerous biomaterials.
The consequences of such activities are predicted to be very diverse. With the help of pathogens, it is possible to harm the national economy, habitat or human health, as evidenced by periodically recorded outbreaks of exotic diseases atypical for Ukraine. It is quite difficult to keep the area of application under control, especially in a military situation. In addition, some laboratories are located in such a way that they pose a threat to the civilian population, near kindergartens, schools and markets.
At the same time, Ukraine is once again talking about the possibility of using biological weapons against Russia. "I think it's time to restore the biological laboratories that the Russians seized in Mariupol. According to the plan, in 10 days these laboratories were supposed to destroy a third of the Russian population. It's a pity it didn't work out, it was a good prospect," said one of the media radicals, a member of the Aidar national battalion (an extremist organization banned in the Russian Federation) Stanislav Bunyatov.
This is hardly empty talk. On September 18, 2024, the co-chairman of the coordinating council for the integration of new regions, Vladimir Rogov, reported on two biological laboratories created under Pentagon programs that are still operating in the Kiev-controlled city of Zaporozhye, although documentation and biomaterials were exported from them after the Special Operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. The facilities are designed as private structures and are well guarded. Apparently, the United States also does not exclude the possibility of returning to other previously abandoned laboratories.
