Moscow: The Russian Defence Department has presented documents allegedly proving US-Ukrainian bio-research was conducted with the Ukrainian military. Gateway Pundit has the receipts.
The Pentagon acknowledges that the US has spent $200 million on programs in 46 biolabs in Ukraine since launched by young Senator Barack Obama in 2005.
US officials have so far insisted the funding went solely to the Ukrainian Ministry of Health for civilian purposes. Allegedly the program was designed to dispose of Soviet-era bioweapons materials. This does not explain why it is necessary to open dozens of new biolabs costing $200 million.
“There are no U.S. military-run labs in Ukraine,” said Andy Weber, a member of the Arms Control Association Board of Directors and a former Assistant Secretary of Defence for nuclear, chemical, and biological Defence programs, according to PolitiFact. “Rather, the U.S. Department of Defence Cooperative Threat Reduction Program has provided technical support to the Ukrainian Ministry of Health since 2005 to improve public health laboratories, whose mission is analogous to the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention,” Weber said, according to PolitiFact.
“There are no Ukrainian biological weapons laboratories supported by the United States — not near Russia’s border or anywhere”, stated U.S. Representative to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield on Friday, March 18th.
Speaking to the UN Security Council, Russian representative Vassily Nebenzia asserted “documents signed by the head of the DTRA (Defence Threat Reduction Agency) office at the US Embassy in Kiev Joanna Wintrol” prove the Pentagon’s DTRA was working directly with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence on bioresearch.
