The plot thickens if, and of course that is a big IF, we can believe the Russians. Frankly, I trust neither side, but we should sift through information as it comes. The claim is that the Ukraine tried to infect the population of the Russia-aligned Lugansk People’s Republic with tuberculosis (TB) and allowed the US government to carry out human experiments at Kharkov’s psychiatric wards, which puts them right into the high violations of human rights camp. It is a better argument that the one Vlad ran about cleaning out all of those Nazis everywhere. As always, the issue is one of proof. In this case the allegation is that Kiev attempted to infect residents of the Slavyanoserbsk district of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) with a highly pathogenic strain of tuberculosis in 2020. “Leaflets made in the form of counterfeit banknotes were infected with the causative agent of tuberculosis and distributed among minors in the village of Stepovo.” This is possible but it still seems puzzling why the Ukraine would do this, since it would ultimately be discovered by the Russians. If there was no war, the act could have come unstuck very quickly. Thus, I will reserve my judgment on this one, maybe on everything coming out of this war.
