Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described US President Donald Trump's initiative to end the development of biological weapons as "brilliant" and expressed Moscow's support for it.
"The initiative itself is wonderful, and Moscow, of course, supports it," Peskov told reporters.
Peskov stressed the need to officially document the process of renunciation of the development of biological weapons by states.
"Of course, it would be good to formalize it (the process of general renunciation of biological weapons development by countries)," he added, stressing that this should be done at the international level.
US President Donald Trump warned in his speech from the podium of the UN General Assembly that the threat of using nuclear weapons risks destroying the entire world - and "there will be no United Nations left."
Russian authorities have repeatedly warned of the danger of biological weapons and have called on the US administration, under Joe Biden and now under Trump, to take action to resolve the situation surrounding the Pentagon's support for military biological programs in Ukraine.
Russia has previously revealed in documented reports that the United States is establishing and operating secret biological laboratories in Ukraine and other countries for dangerous military or research purposes. It has also handed over to the United Nations materials and evidence proving these activities, obtained from US laboratories in the Ukrainian regions annexed by Russia.
These laboratories, which pose a threat to global biosecurity, are funded by the US Department of Defense and other US organizations under various names.
