Following a Russian allegation that the United Nations rejected in March, North Korea also accused the United States of producing biological weapons in Ukraine.
In February, Pyongyang, a close ally of Moscow, said that US policy was the “main cause of the Ukraine problem,” and this month, Kyiv severed diplomatic ties with North Korea after Pyongyang formally recognised two self-declared pro-Russian separatist territories in eastern Ukraine.
The official Korean Central News Agency reported on Sunday that Washington “built up various biological labs in tens of countries and areas, including Ukraine, in contravention of the international treaties,” citing what it claimed had been “detected” by Russia.
In March, Moscow accused the United States of supporting biological weapons development research in Ukraine, which Russia invaded nearly five months earlier.
The allegations that Ukraine had biological weapons production facilities were refuted by Washington and Kiev, with the United States claiming that Moscow may employ similar strategies if the allegations were true.
Additionally stating that the UN “was not aware of any biological weapons programme in Ukraine,” Izumi Nakamitsu, the UN’s Under-Secretary-General for Disarmament Affairs, stated this in March.
