🇷🇺envoy to @UN #Nebenzia: US delegation did not attend #UNSC Arria meeting on 6 April and ignored requests from independent journalists to explain why documents on 🇺🇸-🇺🇦cooperation in the area of #biological research run counter to statements made by #US officials. 1/4 
Moreover, #US delegation rejected proposal to create an effective #BiologicalWeaponsConvention verification mechanism and turned down the initiative to expand #BWC confidence measures to include reporting on military #biological activities held outside national territories. 2/4
Therefore, #US deliberately blocks attempts to strengthen the #BWC regime that should make it identify violations of #BiologicalWeaponsConvention more effectively. 3/4
🇷🇺envoy to @UN #Nebenzia: Those are very alarming signals, especially in light of the fact that #US legislation allows military-#biological activity and that 🇺🇸national #legislation in this area is superior to international in the country. 4/4
