Ciuma lui Putin. Lucrau cerctătorii ruși la o armă biologică? Mama Dariei: „Mi-au ucis fata” • Newsweek România

Concerns are rising over a potential biological weapon program in Russia following the death of researcher Daria Shipilova from suspected plague exposure. Daria, who worked with Yersinia pestis, fell ill after an incident at a lab in Irkutsk. Despite Russian officials denying any plague outbreak, the rapid isolation measures and hospital lockdowns have sparked fears of a cover-up. Experts suggest that the bacteria could be weaponized, and there are speculations about antibiotic-resistant strains being developed. The Kremlin's secrecy surrounding Daria's death and the drastic response have led to international alarm, with calls for monitoring travelers from the region. Some believe the situation may involve a more sinister pathogen than the plague itself, raising concerns about public health safety.
