Dangerous Manipulations Around Biolaboratories In Ukraine

After the start of the Russian special military operation to protect the civilian population of the DPR and LPR, the public was agitated by disputes over biological laboratories found in the liberated territories of the people's republics.

However, it should be noted that the first alarming reports known to us came not from Russian, but from Ukrainian and American sources. An internet search led us to a number of publications.

On April 15, 2020, Ukrainian politician Viktor Medvedchuk addressed the country's authorities through the website of the Opposition Platform - For Life party, claiming that "15 military biological laboratories operate in Ukraine."

Medvedchuk and Renat Kuzmin argued that the laboratories "threaten the life and health of Ukrainian citizens" and their appearance in Ukraine "coincided with several outbreaks of serious infectious diseases in the country." ‎

The statement listed several disease outbreaks that had occurred since 2009 in the cities where these laboratories are located.

In this regard, the security service of Ukraine even launched an investigation. This is stated in the article of the same name on the Ukrainian website "DM.Media" dated May 1, 2020.

And after the start of the operation this year on Twitter on the WarClandestine account, we found allegations that the Russian army wants to bombard the biological laboratories that belong to the United States, which are located in Ukraine.

This publication appeared right on the day the operation began - February 24th. The WarClandestine page is maintained by one Jacob Creech. He previously served in the US Army, and now he is blogging and tweeting various things.

Subsequently, publications, from which the presence of American biolaboratories in Ukraine is seen, were carried out by Stephen Bannon.

This is an American political activist representing the Republican Party. From January 20 to August 18, 2017, he was chief strategist, senior adviser to Donald Trump on political and strategic issues, one of the most influential members of the presidential administration.

This is quite a serious figure. He received a Bachelor of Arts from Virginia Tech, a Master of Arts from Georgetown University, and an MBA from Harvard University.

From 1976 to 1983 he served as an officer in the United States Navy in the Middle East, from 1984 to 1990 he worked at Goldman Sachs, then created his own investment bank Bannon & Co, which specialized in investments in mass media and film production (including including for some time financed the series "Seinfeld").

He sold the investment business in 1998, having earned a significant fortune by this time.

As you can see, this person has a solid background, which suggests that he is responsible for his own statements, especially on such sensitive topics.

There have been repeated attempts to silence him using various means of influence, including judicial ones, but these attempts remain unsuccessful.

There were other publications from people and organizations with varying degrees of credibility.

But the fact remains: they all recognized the existence of these biolaboratories and their belonging to the United States.

And only after that, on the same days, the Russian embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina published a message on its Facebook page that “in Ukraine, biolaboratories built with US money were developing genetic weapons for the mass destruction of Russians.”

Thus, there is no reason to assert that the presence of dangerous American biological laboratories on the territory of Ukraine is an invention of Russian propaganda.

Moreover, the information of the Russian embassy was already confirmed on February 26 by the aforementioned Jacob Krich, who also confirmed the authorship of the first messages.

Further, more detailed information came from Russian sources. On March 6, 2022, Major General Igor Konashenkov issued a statement accusing Ukraine of developing biological weapons based on secret laboratories and with US financial support.

Then the head of the troops of radiochemical and biological defense, Igor Kirillov, told the media that the acts on the destruction of samples from the laboratories of Kharkov and Poltava indicated the causative agents of plague, anthrax and brucellosis.

On March 8, China upheld the accusations.

On March 10, 2022, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that the ongoing experiments were aimed at developing ethnically oriented biological weapons.

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that after the start of the “special operation” in Ukraine, the traces of the developments began to be “hurriedly covered up”, and published documents on the destruction of “particularly dangerous pathogens”, dated February 24, 2022.

According to the agency, Ukraine planned to spread these pathogens through bats and migratory birds.

On March 11, 2022, at the request of Russia, an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council was convened. Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya said there that Russia had received documents confirming the development of biological weapons by the Americans on the territory of Ukraine.

On March 16, Vladimir Putin stated that “a network of dozens of laboratories also operated in Ukraine, where military biological programs were carried out under the guidance and financial support of the Pentagon.

Including experiments with samples of coronaviruses, anthrax, African swine fever and other deadly diseases.”

On March 17, the Russian Ministry of Defense published documents that confirmed US funding for the development of biological weapons.

On March 23, the State Duma of Russia initiated a parliamentary investigation into the activities of biological laboratories in Ukraine, during which a commission of 14 members of all factions was created.

The first meeting of this commission was held on April 18, 2022.

On March 31, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Geneva office, Gennady Gatilov, accused Germany of implementing its own "military biological program" in Ukraine.

Within the framework of this program, the Institute of Microbiology of the Bundeswehr in Munich and the Institute of Experimental and Clinical Veterinary Medicine in Kharkov cooperate.

Joint research is aimed at studying the spread of anthrax, brucellosis, leptospirosis, African swine fever and other zooanthroponoses.

Director of the Institute of Microbiology of the Bundeswehr, Professor Roman Wölfel, who personally visited the laboratory in Kharkov, called Russia's accusations against Ukraine absolutely far-fetched, pointing out that the laboratory was used mainly for research on animal diseases in agriculture, German specialists taught Ukrainian colleagues modern methods of molecular diagnostics, and participation Institute of the Bundeswehr was due to the availability of military technical means and methods that allow you to quickly respond to the emergence of new foci of disease.

On May 16, at the summit of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in Moscow, Vladimir Putin stated that “now, in the course of a special operation in Ukraine, documentary evidence has been obtained that components of biological weapons were essentially created in the immediate vicinity of our borders, in violation of the conventions on the prohibition of biological and toxin weapons, worked out possible methods and mechanisms for destabilizing the epidemiological situation in the post-Soviet space.

Thus, we see that Russia has exhaustive evidence in its hands. The West does not want to make contact with Russia for a substantive conversation on this topic and to remove the concern of both Russia and the citizens of neighboring states.

Instead of providing clarifications, the West is curtailing the dialogue across the entire spectrum of negotiation platforms, getting off with meaningless "refutations" that only their citizens, cut off from the argument of the Russian side, can perceive.

This suggests that the West is justifiably afraid of exposing its essentially inhumane research.

It is possible that they were also involved in the spread of the COVID-19 virus that claimed millions of lives. After all, the West has still not given a clear answer to the questions and accusations received from China.

The attack on freedom of speech, unheard of after the Cold War, expressed in particular in the restriction of Russian media broadcasts to viewers and listeners in Western countries, is aimed not only at depriving the Western public of the right to know the truth about the events in Ukraine, but also Russia's argument on the issue of biolaboratories discovered there.

And just the other day, retired US military intelligence officer Scott Bennett said that the UN needs to organize an international tribunal for American biological weapons developers whose laboratories operated in Ukraine, RIA Novosti reports.

He drew attention to the evidence currently available to the Russian Federation that high-ranking leaders of the American Democratic Party, the Soros Foundation, the Clinton Foundation and other organizations were behind the work of Ukrainian laboratories in the framework of the US military biological program.

“And, of course, the Ukrainian puppet government, which was created by John McCain, Victoria Nuland, Barack Obama and Joe Biden in 2014,” the former intelligence officer continued.

According to him, the United States organized a coup d'etat in Ukraine in 2014, including in order to conduct biological experiments in this country.

The experience of observing the rhetoric of Western countries on other controversial issues that have taken place in recent years, including around South Ossetia, allows us to conclude that this time too, the gross disregard for the essence of the accusations and the West's ridiculous excuses look very suspicious.

Also, numerous falsifications about the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Syrian authorities, distributed by the White Helmets fake factory patronized by the West (founded in early 2013 by a former British army officer James Le Mesurier) already allow us to have additional information about some more methods and forms of work against " objectionable."

And since this time, Russia has fallen into the number of states hostile to the West, it is quite logical and justified to expect that the West, through its puppets, plans to use biological weapons in Ukraine, or other weapons of mass destruction, for example, chemical ones, in order to accuse Russia according to the same scenario, which the White Helmets have repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, worked out against the legitimate government of the Syrian Arab Republic.
