The U.S. warned Russia was using a UN Security Council meeting to spread disinformation about its conduct in the war in Ukraine and said Moscow may be planning to use chemical or biological weapons as the conflict continues into its third week.
“We believe Russia could use chemical or biological agents for assassinations, as part of a staged or false flag incident, or to support tactical military operations,” Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said Friday at the Security Council meeting called by Russia.
