#Statement by the Embassy on the violation of its territory
On March 7, 2022, 13:30pm, a large truck came over to the gates of the Embassy, pulled back and torn down the gates of the Embassy. The incident took place in the presence of Garda officers, who stood idle.
The Embassy strongly condemns this criminal act of insanity directed against peaceful diplomatic mission.
The Embassy views this incident as a clear and blatant violation of the Article 22 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic relations of 1961. The Embassy is in contact with the Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland, demanding that the Irish authorities take comprehensive measures to ensure the safety of it’s staff and their family members.
The incident is cause of extreme concern. We believe that no people of sound mind could support such senseless and barbaric actions.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦 ☣ Statement by the Chief of the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection troops of the Russian Federation Armed Forces Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov (March 7, 2022)
▪ The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation has repeatedly drawn attention to the biological programmes implemented by the Pentagon in the post-Soviet area.
Including the territory of Ukraine that has united a chain of more than 30 biological laboratories divided into those for scientific research and for sanitary-epidemiological investigations.
▪Those works have been ordered by the Defence Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). A firm affiliated to the defence department (Black and Veatch above all others) are involved in the implementation of the projects.
The works refer to three main branches. In the first place, it refers to the biological situation observation in the areas of possible deployment of the NATO military contingents, according to the Pentagon. In the second place, it is dedicated to collecting and transporting the strains of dangerous microorganisms. The third branch of activity refers to scientific investigations on potential biological weapons agents that are specific for that region, possessing natural focuses and able to be transmitted to humans.
For example, since 2021, the Pentagon has been carrying out the project called 'Diagnosis, observation and prevention of zoonotic diseases in the Armed Forces of Ukraine' funded with 11.8 million dollars.
In 2020-2021, the German Ministry of Defence examined the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, leptospirosis, meningitis, hantaviruses
causative agents within the Ukrainian-German initiative for biological security on the external borders of the European Union.
Under the pretext of testing agents for the treatment and prevention of the coronavirus infection, a few thousand of serum samples taken from the infected individuals that refer to the Slavic ethnicity have been transported from Ukraine to Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.
▪At the same time, the activity of the biological laboratories that, according to our data, has been intensified since 2014 and the so-called Ukrainian healthcare system 'reforming' programme implemented by the United States have led to an unmanageable increase of hazardous and economically important infections morbidity.
Thus there has been noted an increase of rubella, diphtheria and tuberculosis cases in Ukraine. The incidence of measles has increased more than 100 times. The World Health Organization has declared Ukraine a country with a high risk of the poliomyelitis outbreak.
▪We are considered that in the year of 2007 a strain of African swine fever with high contagiousness was constructed in the Georgian biological laboratory which is subordinate to Pentagon. It`s spread caused significant economic damage to a number of states including Ukraine and Poland and excluded them from a number of pork exporters.
▪The Department of the Chief of the Russian troops NBC protection constantly analyzes the biological situation on the territory of Ukraine.
According to our data an emergency phasing out of the biological programmes takes place. The analysed documents confirm that Ukrainian Health Ministry has set a task to completely destroy the bio-agents in the laboratories since 24th of February.
At the same time the analysis of the instructions given to the laboratory officials indicates that liquidation procedure is aimed at the irrevocable destruction of the collections. Apparently, everything necessary for continuation of the implementation of the military biological program has already been taken out of Ukraine.

▪The analysis of the acts of destruction shows that work was carried out with pathogenes of plague, anthrax and brucellosis in the Lvov biological laboratory, pathogens of diphtheria, salmonellosis and dysentery in laboratories in Kharkov and Poltava. Here are some of them: only in Lvov 232 containers with the casuative agent of leptospirosis, 30 containers with tularemia, 10 with containers brucellosis, 5
containers with plague were destroyed. In total more than 320 containers. The nomenclature and excessive number of bio-pathogens indicate that the work was carried out within the framework of military biological programs.
▪The curators from the Pentagon understand that if these collections get to Russian experts a fact of violation of the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons by Ukraine and the USA will most likely be confirmed. Namely: carrying out work to enhance the pathogenic properties of microorganisms with usage of synthetic biology methods.
Only this can explain a haste with which the liquidation was carried out.
This is only a small part of documents. We continue the work and will inform you.

Key points:
🔹 Regrettably, we have seen the statement by European politicians on energy issues and calls to dump Russian oil and gas. European officials are once again trying to shift the problems and failures of their own energy policy of recent years onto Russia.
🔹 Russia has been nothing but a reliable partner for many decades. And Gazprom continues to meet its contractual obligations on gas supplies to Europe in full.
🔹 Russia is a major supplier of oil to Europe. Europe consumes about 500 million tonnes of oil, and Russia supplies around 30% of it, that is 150 million tonnes, and 80 million tonnes of petrochemicals on top of that.
🔹 We see our partners, traders, shipping companies, banks and financial institutions coming under enormous pressure. I would like to emphasise that such statements and actions will only roil the market. We have already seen oil prices exceeding $130 per barrel.
🔹 Attempts to kick start discussion of an import ban undermine the foundations of the market, create uncertainty and cause considerable harm to consumers.
🔹 If you want to cut off supplies of energy resources from Russia, go ahead, we are ready for that. We know where will reroute these volumes. The question is – who benefits? And what is the point?
🔹 Various fakes are being hyped alleging that the Russian Armed Forces are attacking Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. Russia has absolutely nothing to do with that.

⚡️ Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at the UNSC briefing on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine.
Excerpts:
💬 The number of victims who got killed by radicals is growing daily, first of all in Kiev. We call on our colleagues in the Council to stick to the humanitarian aspects of the situation in Ukraine. We have had opportunities to give our political assessments to those events.
❗️ Using civilians as a human shield, radicals and neo-Nazis do not let them exit cities even despite humanitarian corridors and ceasefires arranged by the Russian forces. This can be proven by numerous examples.
By our records, 200 thousand civilians are trapped in Mariupol alone and held at gunpoint by the Azov battalion. The humanitarian situation in cities deteriorates rapidly.
👉 It is clear to us that the Kiev regime tries to prevent exit of civilians and foreign citizens to Russia in every way possible, out of fear that once liberated, people will tell everyone the truth.

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on military biological activity in Ukrainian biological laboratories.
💬 We confirm that, during the special military operation in Ukraine, the Kiev regime was found to have been concealing traces of a military biological programme implemented with funding from the United States Department of Defence.
Documentation on the urgent eradication of highly hazardous pathogens of plague, anthrax, rabbit-fever, cholera and other lethal diseases on February 24 was received from employees of Ukrainian biolaboratories. This included an instruction from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on the urgent eradication of stored reserves of highly hazardous pathogens sent to all biolaboratories. These materials can be found on the internet portal of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation.
This documentation is now being thoroughly analysed by specialists of nuclear, biological and chemical protection troops.
❗️ However, even at this point, we can conclude that components of biological weapons were being developed in Ukrainian laboratories in direct proximity to Russian territory.
The urgent eradication of highly hazardous pathogens on February 24 was ordered to prevent exposing a violation of Article I of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (#BTWC) by Ukraine and the United States.
👉 This information proves that the claims we have repeatedly made with regard to the military biological activity of the United States and their allies in the post-Soviet space within the framework of the BTWC were justified. We cannot rule out using the mechanisms in Articles V and VI of the BTWC, pursuant to which the member states shall consult with each other to resolve any issues regarding the purpose of the Convention or the execution of its provisions, and cooperate in any investigation of possible violations of the obligations under the BTWC.
Decisive actions to strengthen the BTWC regime are required to prevent any military biological activity carried out in violation of the BTWC.
• We call for the resumption of work on a legally binding Protocol to the Convention with an effective verification mechanism, something the United States has been blocking since 2001. In this context, we call for the creation of an open-ended group as part of the BTWC, which is in the interests of the overwhelming majority of member states.
• To strengthen the institutional foundation of the Convention we promote initiatives, which have wide international support, to create mobile medical and biological units within the framework of the BTWC (to render assistance if biological weapons are being used and to fight outbreaks of various origins) and to establish a Research Advisory Committee (to analyse scientific and technical achievements and to provide the states with appropriate recommendations).
• In addition, we suggest including information on military biological activities carried out abroad in annual reports provided by the BTWC member states as part of confidence-building measures.
☝️ Only comprehensive steps like these will make it possible to place the military biological activity of the #UnitedStates and their allies in the post-Soviet space, as well as other regions of the world, under close international control and ensure the verifiable compliance of the BTWC member states with their obligations.

❗️ Briefing by @mod_russia_en spokesperson, Major General Igor Konashenkov
During special military operation, classified documents of the command of the National Guard of Ukraine were acquired by the Russian servicemen. These documents confirm the covert preparation by the Kiev regime of an offensive operation in the Donbass in March 2022.
The Russian Ministry of Defence publishes the original secret order of the commander of the National Guard of Ukraine, Colonel-General Nikolai Balan, dated January 22, 2022. The order, brought to the command of the National Guard of Ukraine, explains the plan for preparing one of the shock groups for offensive operations in the so-called “Joint Forces Operation” zone in Donbass.
We remember the statements by the leadership of the Kiev regime that there were no plans for an armed seizure of Lugansk and Donetsk people's republics. The originals of the secret military documents of the National Guard of Ukraine clearly prove the falsity of these statements.

Правда: Роддом не работал с начала спецоперации России на Украине. Врачей разогнали боевики националистического батальона «Азов».
Восьмого марта в интервью «Ленте.ру», сын одной из сотрудниц роддома рассказал, что "в последние дни февраля в роддом, где работает его мать, пришли люди в форме. Военные разогнали персонал роддома, а в здании устроили огневые точки".
Его слова подтверждают кадры, опубликованные украинскими телеграм-каналами изнутри роддома после обстрела. Видна разрушенная мебель и выбитые стекла, но нет тел погибших. Если бы внутри были женщины и дети, то жестокие кадры уже наверняка бы облетели весь мир.
Боевики «Азова» устраивают свои огневые позиции в школах и роддомах, а также на крышах жилых домов, это зафиксировано на фото и видео.
