据俄罗斯卫星通讯社消息，美国副国务卿纽兰8日表示，乌克兰有生物研究设施，美乌正在努力防止任何研究材料落入俄军之手。报道称，俄罗斯国防部早前指出，美国在参与美国军事生物计划的乌克兰实验室上花费了2亿多美元。

US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland admitted on Tuesday that Ukraine hosts what she called "biological research facilities," adding that the United States is concerned they could come under the control of Russian forces.

“乌克兰有生物研究机构，事实上我们现在很担心俄罗斯军队可能会试图控制这些机构，所以我们正在与乌克兰人合作，如何防止这些研究材料落入俄罗斯军队的手中”，纽兰在参议院听证会上说。

"Ukraine has biological research facilities, which in fact we are now quite concerned Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach," Nuland said during a Senate hearing on Ukraine.

俄罗斯国防部最近公布的文件显示，基辅被命令紧急清除被称为“生物武器计划”的痕迹。

The Russian Defense Ministry recently published documents showing that Kiev was ordered to urgently eliminate traces of what was called a biological weapons program.

外交部：美在全球30国控制336个生物实验室

3月8日，外交部发言人赵立坚主持例行记者会，有记者提问：近日美国在乌克兰的生物实验室引发广泛关注。据称美驻乌使馆已紧急删除涉及实验室的信息。中方对此有何评论？

赵立坚回应，近期美国在乌克兰的生物实验室确实引发各方高度关注。据报道，这些生物实验室内存储了大量危险病毒。俄罗斯还在军事行动中发现美国利用这些设施开展生物军事计划。

Lately US biological labs in Ukraine have indeed attracted much attention. According to reports, a large quantity of dangerous viruses are stored in these facilities. Russia has found during its military operations that the US uses these facilities to conduct bio-military plans.

根据美方自己公布的数据，美国在乌克兰有26个生物实验室和其他相关设施。美国国防部拥有绝对控制权。乌境内所有的危险病毒都必须存储在这些实验室。所有的研究活动都由美方主导。未经美方许可，任何信息都不得公开。

According to data released by the US, it has 26 bio-labs and other related facilities in Ukraine, over which the US Department of Defense has absolute control. All dangerous pathogens in Ukraine must be stored in these labs and all research activities are led by the US side. Without US approval, no information shall be released to the public.

当前形势下，从乌克兰和周边地区乃至全世界人民的健康和安全出发，我们呼吁有关各方确保这些实验室的安全。尤其是美国作为最了解这些实验室的一方，应尽快公布相关具体情况，包括存储了哪些病毒、开展了哪些研究。

Under current circumstances, for the sake of the health and safety of people in Ukraine, neighboring regions and beyond, we call on relevant sides to ensure the safety of these labs. The US, in particular, as the party that knows the labs the best, should disclose specific information as soon as possible, including which viruses are stored and what research has been conducted.

美国在乌克兰的生物军事活动只是冰山一角。美国国防部以“合作减少生物安全风险”“加强全球公共卫生”等名义，在全球30个国家控制了336个生物实验室。336，你没有听错！美国在其境内的德特里克堡基地也开展了大量生物军事活动。

I would also like to stress that, the biological military activities of the US in Ukraine are merely the tip of the iceberg. Using such pretexts as cooperating to reduce biological safety risks and strengthening global public health, the US has 336 biological labs in 30 countries under its control. 336, you heard me right. It also conducted many biological military activities at the Fort Detrick base at home.

美国真正的意图是什么？具体干了什么？国际社会一直有疑虑。美国始终敷衍了事，甚至把国际社会提出质疑说成是“散布虚假信息”。不仅如此，20年来美国一直独家阻挠建立《禁止生物武器公约》核查机制，拒绝接受对其境内外生物设施的核查。这进一步加重了国际社会的关切。我们再次敦促美方对其境内外生物军事化活动作出全面澄清，并接受多边核查。

What is the true intention of the US? What has it done specifically? The international community has long-held doubts. However, the US has kept stonewalling, and even dismissing the international community’s doubts as spreading disinformation. Besides, the US has been standing alone in obstructing the establishment of a Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) verification mechanism and refusing verification of its biological facilities at home and abroad for the past two decades. This has led to deeper concern of the international community. Once again we urge the US to give a full account of its biological military activities at home and abroad and subject itself to multilateral verification.
