DISINFO: US bio labs in Ukraine and Georgia conduct dangerous and non-transparent research
SUMMARY
American biological laboratories in Ukraine and Georgia conduct dangerous and non-transparent research.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative advancing conspiracy theories about clandestine US laboratories in the post-Soviet countries. See also here.
The United States embassy in Ukraine issued a statement, in which it dispelled “disinformation spreading in some circles in Ukraine that mirrors Russian disinformation regarding the strong U.S.-Ukrainian partnership to reduce biological threats’’. It said the US really cooperates with Ukraine “to consolidate and secure pathogens and toxins of security concern in Ukrainian government facilities, while allowing for peaceful research and vaccine development”. In the case of Georgia, reports about secret US biological laboratories were also debunked.
