Russia’s demand for probe into US ‘biological activities’ in Ukraine rejected at UN Security Council
UNITED NATIONS (AA) – The UN Security Council rejected a Russian drafted resolution Wednesday calling for an investigation into claims that the US and Ukraine carry out ”military biological activities” on Ukrainian territory.
Only Russia and China voted in favor of the resolution, with the US, the UK and France voting against it and the remaining 10 members of the Council abstaining.
In order to be adopted, a resolution needs at least nine votes in favor and no veto by any of the five permanent members of the Council — Russia, China, the US, the UK and France.
Russia’s claims that the US has biological warfare labs in Ukraine emerged soon after Moscow launched its war on the Eastern European nation on Feb. 24.
Ukraine and the US have rejected the Russian allegations.
