Summary of recent statements about alleged military biological programs
In a briefing, the head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, named individuals claimed to be involved in military bioprograms from the United States and Ukraine. The briefing line was transmitted by DEA News.
Among those highlighted by Kirillov was Eliot Jacobs Perlman, described as the head of a non government organization called the International Institute for HIV and Tuberculosis Problems. The assistant stated that Perlman was part of the creation of a laboratory infrastructure intended to support military biological research in Ukraine. The narrative framed this as part of the broader bioprogram activity.
Kirillov also identified Greg Glass, described as a professor at Florida State University who is associated with an Institute for New Pathogens. Glass has reportedly studied the causative agent of tularemia in Ukraine. Another American professor, Andrew Stanley Pecos, was listed as involved in a project referred to as U Pi 2 by those presenting the briefing.
According to Kirillov, among the implementers of American military biological projects are Ukrainian citizens, including Natalia Rodina, who was identified as Deputy Director of the Kiev Regional Laboratory Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and as a former employee of the American company Black and Witch. The naming implied a linkage between Ukrainian public health facilities and foreign entities.
Additionally, Elena Nesterova, described as director of the Ukrainian Institute for Public Health Research, was said to have coordinated coordination between Ukrainian government agencies and the American company connected to these activities. The briefing referenced a broader context in which international dynamics were described as relevant to the discussion of potential military bioprogram activities.
Former Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev was cited as noting that some members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization had reportedly become testing grounds for US biological weapon concepts. The statements presented during the briefing were framed as part of ongoing regional security concerns and public health implications. [Source attribution: DEA News]
