The note reads: "In accordance with Article 6 of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), Russia officially submits a complaint to the Security Council, including sufficient evidence confirming the validity of the complaint, and once again requests that a meeting of the Security Council be convened on October 27, 2022 to consider the attached draft resolution."

Mr. Nebenzya requested that all members of the Council be immediately informed of the above proposal.
Moscow hopes that the investigative committee will be able to clarify all the circumstances related to Washington's and Kiev's compliance with their commitments under the BWC during US military biological activities on the territory of Ukraine.
According to the draft resolution, the UN Security Council "decides to establish a committee consisting of all members of the Security Council to investigate complaints by Russia against the United States and Ukraine regarding compliance with obligations under the Convention in the context of the activities of biological laboratories on the territory of Ukraine".
The document also requires that a report containing recommendations be submitted to the Security Council by November 30, 2022, and that member states participating in the BWC be informed of the results of the investigation at a review conference taking place from November 28 to December 16 in Geneva.
