Secret documents have revealed that Vladimir Putin sent his top military personnel on a covert mission to China to receive training in biological and chemical warfare, according to investigators who have seen the classified files. The training was reportedly personally authorized by Putin and includes instruction on chemical and radiation reconnaissance as well as protecting ventilation systems from contamination.
Expert Warns of Horrific Intentions
Professor Anthony Glees, a renowned war expert, told the Daily Star that the reasons for this training are 'too horrible to contemplate.' He stated: 'This Chinese programme is not defensive, it's offensive. There is only one answer which is, frankly, too horrible to contemplate.'
Glees added: 'As Russia's demented dictator Mad Vlad realises that he's not only not winning the war in Ukraine, but actively losing it and, in particular, in grave danger of losing Crimea, he may well be planning to fight back against any Ukrainian boots on the ground with chemical, biological or radiological weapons (probably the first two). He knows he cannot win in normal combat, and he knows he cannot win a nuclear battle (we would obliterate him if he tried) so that leaves illegal but handy CBR weapons.'
China's Role Under Scrutiny
China claims to be neutral in the Ukraine war and positions itself as a 'peace mediator,' but these documents undermine that stance. It is estimated that 200 Russian soldiers have already received drone warfare training in China, while hundreds of Chinese troops have been sent to Russia. A European official told Reuters that such training underlines the strategic nature of the exchanges and noted the sensitivity of the topic for militaries.
EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas confirmed: 'We are carefully assessing the implications.' However, China's foreign ministry dismissed the reports as 'nothing but smears,' stating: 'The relevant allegations are entirely unfounded.'
Implications for Ukraine War
Professor Glees emphasized the dire situation: 'He's in a last ditch position; he cannot cede Crimea back to Ukraine to where it belongs. He must resist their invasion at any cost and CBR is the price he will pay.' He also criticized China's role, calling it 'the wicked and destructive role China is playing: bestest chums to Putin, our prime enemy in the world.'
The revelations have sparked fears of World War 3, as the use of chemical, biological, or radiological weapons would represent a significant escalation in the conflict. The EU is currently assessing the implications of the training, which was confirmed by Brussels last month.
