It has never been in dispute that US assisted "biolabs" exist/existed in Ukraine & other foreign nations.
We do this to, almost exclusively, keep an eye on & head off emerging global biological threats to people & livestock, just like we're seeing now with the New World Screwworm. "Biolabs" exist in nearly every agricultural college in America to maintain the health of the American citizens & livestock. It's no different in Ukraine which is a highly agricultural nation & the US has a presence in these labs to know what is cropping up, whether it's NWS in Mexico or Ebola in Congo.
What is being insinuated by Russia, vis a vis Tulsi, is that there was some offensive weaponizational component to them.
This is, once again, Russian projection. Russia is the one that, after signing on to treaties banning offensive bio weapons, continued research into them. Just read Russian defector Ken Alibek's book "Biohazard" that pulled back the curtain on their program.
The only extent to which these labs dealt with bioweapons was disposal of *illegal* Russian/Soviet Cold War stocks & research into vaccinations against those stocks.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.
