Russia Says US Destroyed Evidence of a Bioweapons Program in the Ukraine By Richard Miller (London)

This has been mentioned in a number of alternative news sources since it was stated by the Russian Defense Ministry: that the Ukrainian government ordered the destruction of samples of plague, anthrax, and other lethal pathogens from US-funded laboratories near the Russian border. You have to admit that having this biological time bomb sitting on one’s border would make anyone nervous, especially given the likely lab leak of Covid-19, showing how easy it is, to leak. Who knows what gain-of-function research was carried out there?

“Russia’s Defense Ministry says Kiev ordered scientists to destroy samples of plague, anthrax, and other lethal pathogens.

As Russian troops entered Ukraine, the government in Kiev ordered the “emergency destruction” of pathogens including plague and anthrax at US-funded laboratories near the Russian border, the Ministry of Defense in Moscow claimed on Sunday.

Earlier rumors that the Russian military was targeting US-run biolabs were written off as conspiracy theories, but the ministry has promised to back up its claims with documents.

“We have received documentation from employees of Ukrainian biolaboratories on the emergency destruction on February 24 of especially dangerous pathogens of plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera and other deadly diseases,” read a statement from the ministry.

The statement:

1. Accused the “Kiev regime” of conducting an “emergency cleansing” to hide evidence of the supposed biological weapons program, which the ministry claimed was funded by the US…
2. Involved the production of “biological weapons components” at at least two laboratories in the cities of Poltava and Kharkov, both of which have seen intense fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces in recent days.

The documents published by the ministry purportedly include an order from the Ukrainian Ministry of Health to destroy the pathogens, and lists of the germs in question.

I cannot independently verify the authenticity of these documents. Russia’s Defense Ministry said that they are currently being analyzed by radiation, chemical and biological protection specialists.

“In the near future we will present the results of the analysis,” the ministry said.

If this turns out to be true, the documents will prove that Ukraine and the US were violating Article 1 of the UN Biological Weapons Convention, which stipulates: “never under any circumstances to develop, produce, stockpile, acquire, or retainX biological weapons.”

In the initial days of Russia’s military offensive last month, claims circulated online that Russia was targeting western-funded biolabs with missile strikes.

These allegations were never verified and were blasted by western sources as conspiracy theories, although the Pentagon has publicly stated that it works with the Ukrainian government to “consolidate and secure pathogens and toxins of security concern in Ukrainian government facilities,” for “peaceful research and vaccine development,” according to the US embassy in Kiev.
