Such information is spread by Russian propaganda media. In particular, Dmitry Steshin, a military correspondent for the propaganda newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, reported that he found "red containers with a sign of biological contamination" in the "undergrounds of Mariupol."

"Made in the United States. The yellow containers collect syringes, needles, scalpels, you can find them in tattoo parlors, for example. But these are red! So, for extremely dangerous biomaterials - liquids, blood, tissue. Why are they here in the war? No one knows and no one can answer," Steshin writes. In fact, as StopFake writes, the container discovered by the Russian military officer is actually used to store sharp objects, to dispose of medical waste, the container can be easily purchased online.
