'In recent days, rather coherent stories about Russia preparing to use biological weapons in Ukraine have been added to the media narrative.
2/12 NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview with the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag on 12 March 2022 that Russia was preparing to use chemical weapons.
3/12 On the same day, he was echoed by US President Joe Biden, who said in an address to the nation that Russia would pay a "cruel price" for the use of chemical weapons in Ukraine.
4/12 Here let us ask ourselves the question - what is the reason for such a concerted attack on Russia?
5/12 The fact is that Russia has begun to present the first evidence of the development by the United States of America, together with Ukraine and on Ukrainian territory, of biological weapons in Ukrainian laboratories.
6/12 What has become known to the Russian side?
We can judge this both from the speech of the Russian plenipotentiary to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, and from the words of the Russian military.
7/12 In particular, Igor Kirillov, head of the Russian Armed Forces' radiation, chemical and biological defence troops, described in detail what he managed to find out during the analysis of documentation on several occupied laboratories.
8/12 According to him, there are facts of work of Ukrainian biolaboratories with pathogens of various infectious diseases, such as plague, anthrax and brucellosis.
9/12 Kirillov also noted that since February 24, in fact since the beginning of Russian special operation in Ukraine, Ukrainian laboratories have been urgently destroying traces of their work in order to prevent the materials from falling into the hands of the Russian military.
10/12 This was the first announcement made on 7 March 2022. After which there was an immediate outcry of denial from the US side.
11/12 State Department spokesman Ned Price stated that the US does not own any chemical or biological laboratories in Ukraine, abiding by international agreements concerning chemical weapons.
12/12 John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, supports this view: "We are not developing biological weapons in Ukraine.'
I am not surprised and it does not matter at all who the perpetrator was - local neo-Nazis or the Security Service of Ukraine.
2/7 In any case, this is a conscious policy of Kiev - all politicians and more or less visible figures in Ukraine are now being held hostage by the totalitarian ideology of the Kiev Maidan.
One does not shout "Glory to Heroes" three times and is already a potential traitor.
3/7 In an even more inadequate form this hysteria works on the ground.
Here any ordinary citizen can become a victim of Ukrainian neo-Nazis, or simply robbers. All it takes to kill and rob a person is an excuse - appearance, accent, registration.
Military expert Boris Rozhin with a summary of the results of the operation to denazify and demilitarise Ukraine on 16 March 2022

Stubborn fighting continues in the city, but signs of imminent defence collapse are becoming more and more evident. Fighting has already approached one of Eastern Europe's largest steel mills, #Azovstal.
From the west, troops have advanced deep into city blocks. There is a desire to cut the cauldron into two parts, which will facilitate its further liquidation.

3/7 and air strikes during a special military operation.
To this end, between 6 and 11 March, engineering works were carried out on the territory of the old city cemetery in Mariupol to construct a trench more than two metres deep and more than 100 metres long.
