Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, the spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry, issued a warning and made an explosive allegation during a statement he delivered on March 6.
“Almost all combat-ready aviation of the Kiev regime has been destroyed,” Konashenkov reported. “At the same time, we know about Ukrainian assault aircraft that had previously flown to Romania and other border countries. The use of the airfield network of these countries for basing Ukrainian military aviation with subsequent use against the Russian Armed Forces can be regarded as the involvement of these states in an armed conflict.” One might presume that this warning could also encompass the provision of combat aircraft to Ukraine from airfields in Poland.
As for the allegation: “During a special military operation, the facts of the Kiev regime’s emergency cleanup of traces of a military biological program funded by the U.S. Department of Defense implemented in Ukraine were revealed,” Konashenkov said. “We have received documentation from employees of Ukrainian biological laboratories on the emergency destruction of especially dangerous pathogens of plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera and other deadly diseases on Feb. 24.”
