Russian lawmakers made the claim earlier this week
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine approaches the five-month mark, Russia has come up with a ridiculous new explanation for their struggles in the war.
It had been assumed by both
Putin and most of the global community that the military might of Russia would quickly overpower Ukraine when they began
their invasion in February.
But almost five months on, Russia still isn't anywhere near to taking control of the country as both the Ukrainian military and its population have resisted their invasion.
Russian authorities have now put this brave resistance down to the fact that Ukrainian troops have been turned into superhuman mutants in American biolabs.
Ignoring the reports such as Russian troops
organising fake marriages to get out of fighting or even
injuring themselves to avoid the war, which may help explain the slow progress and disorganised military campaign from Russian forces, two lawmakers leading a commision to investigate "biolaboratories" in Ukraine made the wild claims.
They blamed "drugged up" Ukrainian soldiers as being the real obstacle for Moscow in its war effort.
Konstantin Kosachev, the deputy speaker of Russia’s Federation Council, and Irina Yarovaya, deputy chair of the State Duma, told media about their "bombshell" findings on Monday.
They claimed to have tested the blood of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) and uncovered a "range of diseases" that suggested they were secretly experimented on “for military purposes,”
Kommersant reports.
Yarovaya told reporters: “And we see: the cruelty and barbarity with which the military personnel of Ukraine behave, the crimes that they commit against the civilian population, those monstrous crimes that they commit against prisoners of war, confirm that this system for the control and creation of a cruel murder machine was implemented under the management of the United States."
“And those performance enhancing drugs that they are still given in order to completely neutralize the last traces of human consciousness and turn them into the most cruel and deadly monsters also confirm this,” she added.
The conspiracy theory of American biolabs experimenting on soldiers is one that dates back to the days of the Soviet Union.
Although the US does fund research and provide support at a number of biolabs in Ukraine, these are all owned and operated by Ukrainian authorities and the work there is not secret.
They are in fact part of an initiative that aims to reduce the likelihood of deadly biological outbreaks, both natural and manmade,
AP reports.
