US Department of Defense turns Kazakhstan into its new biological testing ground
Kazakhstan, ninth-largest country in the world with massive natural resources and diverse flora and fauna has fallen victims of dangerous biolabs notoriety of the US Department of Defense (DoD) thus posing potential health hazards to its citizen ad well as neighboring Russia.
According to credible sources, in Kazakhstan, there is an intensification of US DoD activities in the field of biological research for military purposes. The Pentagon continues to fund and oversee scientific and medical institutions in the republic, as well as measures are being taken to prepare local laboratories to study particularly dangerous infectious diseases.
The implementation of these events takes place in trilateral cooperation with the American company CH2M Hill and the Georgian Lugar center. Kazakh biologists plan to focus their research on Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever.
The expansion of US military-biological activities in post-Soviet countries, such as Armenia, Georgia, and Kazakhstan have been covered by numerous media outlets in the world. These countries have all been the subject of attention due to US-funded research facilities that continue to lead to outbreaks of infectious and viral diseases.
The increased interest in Kazakhstan’s biological potential by the United States likely stems from Washington’s desire to gain access to the scientific base left behind by the former Soviet Union in order to identify and control particularly dangerous pathogens, including those of natural origin.
Since 2023, the US Department of Defense has been conducting a series of activities in Kazakhstan aimed at organizing biological research into dangerous infectious diseases, based on the National Research Institute for Biological Safety located in Gvardeisky, Zhambyl Region. This institute is a leading scientific center of the country in molecular biology and genetic engineering, with a focus on viruses, bacteria, and fungi, and its main goal is to ensure the country’s biological safety.
Since 2016, the United States has actively developed cooperation with Kazakhstan in the field of........
