The Russian Federation can produce a bio -embrace: a secret laboratory is being built under Moscow - WP (photo)

Officials in Russia have confirmed that their laboratories will study deadly germs like the Ebola virus to protect against bioterols and pandemics. However, experts suggest that the expansion of the laboratory in Sergiy-6 may indicate the development of biological weapons. Comparison of satellite images shows that the Russians have been actively building new objects in the territory of the secret laboratory in the military town of Sergiyev-6 near Moscow in the last two years.

Several new buildings have signs of biological laboratories that may work with dangerous pathogens. This was reported on October 25 by The Washington Post. The journalists of the publication compare the collected Google Earth and commercial images of Maxar and Planet Labs images satellite images of the Sergiy-6 territory of the last two years. They can be seen how construction machines reconstruct the old Soviet -era laboratory and start the construction of ten new buildings.

The data obtained concludes that Russians are building an object with a high level of biological safety. The pictures show dozens of ventilation installations on the roof, signs of underground infrastructure, divided planning, which is usually inherent in laboratories, and something similar to the power plant. In recent weeks, Russian officials have publicly confirmed that scientists will use laboratories to study deadly germs such as Ebola virus, WP reports.

The Russians explain this desire to strengthen the country's protection from bio -terrorism and future pandemics. In the US, laboratories operating with the Ebola virus have a "biological safety level 4" (BSL-4) and are equipped to work with the most deadly and incurable pathogens. The Russian Ministry of Defense did not respond to the request of American journalists for comment.

There are no signs of using biological weapons in the Russian-Ukrainian war, but the US intelligence closely monitors the construction of new laboratories in Sergiy-6, the article says. Andrew K. Weber, the former high-ranking official of the Pentagon, who spent years to study the Soviet objects of the Biosbrom in the 1990s, said he was concerned about Moscow's decision to build new research objects in an extremely secret city, which was known in the past by his own Role in Biosbroma studies.

"Modernization is consistent with the historical role of this secret military biological object in the development of viral biological weapons," Weber said. The Ukrainian Army General, the exclusive of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Mykola Males Males said on Channel 24 that information about biolaboratories in Russia had already occurred earlier, and now we have received confirmation. "Russia has not stopped developing nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

They call it a" triad of the Global War. " The expertist believes that in Sergiy-6, Russians retain and produce biological weapons, which can cause infectious and virtually incurable diseases in humans. In his opinion, this will allow to spread epidemics that will threaten not only humans but also animals and plants, and can be more dangerous than nuclear warheads. We will remind, on October 15 Reuters reported that the Spanish police seized a chemical weapon heading to Russia.
