Ukraine has become an “instrument of U.S. foreign policy” and a “testing site for military biological experiments,” Russian President Vladimir Putin alleged on Oct. 26.

He made the remarks at a meeting of security chiefs from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a regional grouping established in 1991 following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
