US Denies, Warns Against False Flag Op

As Russia began to assault military sites in Ukraine, there was suspicion that the US Biolabs, which were built in Ukraine for the purpose of research and defence, would be targeted as well. Under the “Biological Threat Reduction Program,” the US has six such facilities in Ukraine.

The official website of the U.S. embassy in Kiev deleted all evidence of Ukrainian biological weapons laboratories. The documents on the labs were public knowledge until February 25, 2022 when they were deleted from the website of the U.S. diplomatic headquarters in that country, the report said.

On 9 March, Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that documents unearthed by Russian forces in Ukraine showed “an emergency attempt to erase evidence of military biological programmes” by destroying lab samples. These documents included important construction, funding and license details for biological weapons labs in Ukraine, it added. But Washington erased these documents from the Internet and was becoming less transparent with this critical information, it added.

The report noted that that was happening at a time when the world’s population was waking up to the reality of for-profit biological weapons research, laboratory leaks, and the development of predatory vaccines and diagnostics. These biological laboratories, it pointed out, generated pathogens of pandemic potential that exploit human immune systems and were the basis for medical fraud, malpractice, vaccine-induced death and genocide.

The Defense Department funded at least 15 different biological laboratories in Ukraine. These are not Chinese or Russian biolabs. At least eight of them are bioweapons labs operated exclusively by the Pentagon, the publication denounced.

These labs “consolidate and secure pathogens and toxins of security concern” to carry out “enhanced biosecurity, biosafety and biosurveillance measures” through “international research partnerships,” it said.

The Pentagon also facilitated the clearance process for Ukrainian scientists to work with pathogens of pandemic potential.

The network of biological laboratories included facilities in Odessa, Vinnytsia, Uzhgorod, Lviv, Kiev, Kherson, Ternopil, Crimea, Lugansk and two suspect facilities in Kharkiv and Mykolaiv, www.naturalnews.com said.

30 Labs Found by Russian Forces

The Russian Armed Forces found 30 biological laboratories in Ukraine, which were possibly involved in biological weapons production, Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological defence of the Russian Armed Forces, told reporters on 8 March.

The Russian Defense Ministry’s spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said that documents recovered were being analyzed by the military, adding that the Pentagon had been experiencing difficulties in continuing its secret biological experiments with the start of the Russian offensive in Ukraine. Konashenkov said facilities in Ukraine were developing components for biological weapons, noting that in the near future, the ministry would release its analysis of the received documents.

He said Washington “planned to carry out research on bird, bat and reptile pathogens”, as well as on African swine fever and anthrax…Bio-laboratories set up and funded in Ukraine have been experimenting with bat coronavirus samples,” Konashenkov added.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in a press conference later “The Americans carried out this work in complete secrecy. Just like how they work in other former Soviet states, creating their military-biological labs right along Russia’s borders.”

The Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is the project’s customer, and a corporation linked with the military department, notably Black and Veatch, is involved in project implementation, he stated.

Kirillov noted that the work was being done in three primary areas.

* The first is, according to the Pentagon, the monitoring of the biological situation in the proposed areas for the deployment of military contingents from NATO member states.

* The second is the collecting of harmful microbe strains and their transfer to the United States.

* According to him, the third direction is research into prospective biological weapons agents that are peculiar to a given place, have natural foci, and may be transmitted to humans.

Kirillov gave the following example: since 2021, the Pentagon has been implementing the project “Diagnostics, Surveillance and Prevention of Zoonotic Diseases in the Armed Forces of Ukraine” with a total funding of $11.8 million; in 2020-2021, the German Defense Ministry conducted a study of pathogens of the Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic disease in Ukraine. fever, leptospirosis, meningitis, hantaviruses as part of the Ukrainian-German initiative to ensure biological security at the external borders of the European Union.

Under the pretext of testing means for the treatment and prevention of the coronavirus infection, several thousand samples of serum from patients, primarily those belonging to the Slavic ethnic group, were taken from Ukraine to the Walter Reed Research Institute of the US Army, he added.

US Admits ‘Biological Research Facilities’

The United States has admitted that Ukraine hosted “biological research facilities,” expressing concern that they could come under the control of Russian forces, as Moscow made advances following its military offensive in the country.

US Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland expressed concern during a Senate hearing on Ukraine on 8 March, after Russia published documents showing that Kiev was ordered to urgently eliminate traces of what was deemed as a biological weapons program, financed by the Pentagon.

“Ukraine has biological research facilities, which in fact we are now quite concerned Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach,” she said.

Documentation was received from Ukrainian biological research laboratories on the urgent destruction of dangerous pathogens on February 24, including anthrax, cholera, and the plague, in what could be a cover-up of Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) violations.

US Says Russia ‘spreading disinformation’

Both Washington and Kyiv have denied the existence of laboratories intended to produce biological weapons in the country.

Russia asked for a meeting of the UN Security Council (UNSC) to address its allegations of “biological activities” carried out by the US in Ukraine. They claim that the Pentagon’s Biological Threat Reduction Programme has been working with the Ukrainian government to ensure the security of pathogens and toxins stored in the laboratories.

The United States has accused Russia of using a UN Security Council meeting, on 11 March, for “lying and spreading disinformation”.  The US claimed that the Russian accusations were part of a potential false-flag operation. 

US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said Russia was playing out a scenario put forth in the UNSC, in February, by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that President Vladimir Putin would “fabricate allegations about chemical or biological weapons to justify its own violent attacks against the Ukrainian people.” 

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby called the Russian claim “a bunch of malarkey,” but in testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee, CIA Director William Burns also noted grave concern that Russia might be laying the groundwork for a chemical or biological attack of its own, which it would then blame on the US or Ukraine in a false flag operation.

UN disarmament chief Izumi Nakamitsu also told the council she was aware of reports about the allegations, and said, “The United Nations is not aware of any biological weapons programmes.” 

China Fuels Russian Claim

China has fueled Russian claims that the United States is funding research into the development of biological weapons in Ukraine and called for an investigation. “This Russian military operation has uncovered the secret of the US labs in Ukraine, and this is not something that can be dealt with in a perfunctory manner,” said China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian.

“It is not something they can muddle through by saying that China’s statement and Russia’s finding are disinformation, and are absurd and ridiculous,” he said.

UNSC Meet

India emphasised on following the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) at the UNSC meeting on 11 March. BTWC is a treaty that came into force in 1975 and prohibits the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of biological weapons. A total of 183 countries are party to the treaty that outlaws bioweapons, including US, Russia and Ukraine.

The Indian envoy called for ‘full and effective implementation of the BTWC in letter and spirit” and pointed out “any matters relating to obligations under the BTWC should be addressed as per the provisions of the convention, and through consultation and cooperation between the parties concerned”.
