The principles approved by the concept on the prohibition of biological and toxin weapons have been systematically violated recently, Putin said.
"In the current difficult international conditions, it is very important to preserve and strengthen the existing mechanisms of multilateral cooperation in the field of countering various biological threats.

Unfortunately, the principles approved by this fundamental document have been systematically violated recently," Putin said.
