Firms still trading in Russia

No, that's not what it says.

Show me the denial you think you heard about.
 
you do realise bio warfare stuff can be identified . novichok was identified as military grade within hours so no you cant just realise stuff and say oh it must have come from an innocent source .
That's chemical warfare genius, they are quite different. It also wasn't being identified in the middle of an active war zone.

The problem with chemicals is that any number of people may have got their hands on it before it was all destroyed. Also that some people know how to make them.

Russia was in chaos when the USSR collapsed and corrupt before. Ukraine is recognises as being corrupt as well. Even mentioned by Boris. The problem seems to go back to how the places were privatised creating a number of rather wealthy people in a system that was probably corrupt before.

What casts doubt on Putin is that he didn't hand over or seem to do anything about the people who arrived and painted the stuff on door handles.
 
To be fair, there was confusion about the testimony. The US clarified after the Russian spin machine tried to argue that Bio Research labs were weapons research labs. I believe the research going on in Ukraine was closer to FSA/UKRI than DSTL.

TBH I think bio never really came to anything. Too difficult in several respects. :( Chemical is way way easier. Nukes even more so but not so tidy.

Chemical went the same way as the neutron bomb as it can be used pretty easily. Other forms of nukes in principle more difficult to use. MAD in effect so those are ok if you already have them. There are "little ones" around though.

Most of the world including Russia went along with destroying chemical munitions stockpiles. Might seem to be an odd thing to agree on but they are a big upset in conventional war and either side could use them. Undesirables may get them too. There were concerns about that when IS types were getting their hands on Syrian weapon stockpiles.
 
Concentration camps were conceived by the British.
True. They were originally set up as refugee camps for civilians try to escape war. The Germans perfected them for prisoners.
