In July, the US Air Force Air Education and Training Command issued a tender 
on a US government website seeking to acquire samples of ribonucleic acid 
(RNA) and synovial fluid from Russians.

The listing specified that the samples – 12 of RNA and 27 of synovial 
fluid – must be provided by Russian donors of Caucasian origin. It also 
wants information on the donor’s sex, age, ethnicity, weight, height and 
medical history. Notably, the Air Force said, it would not consider tissue 
samples from Ukraine.
