Briefing by the Russian Defense Ministry On the Results of the Analysis of Seized Documents on US Military and Biological Activities in Ukraine

[Alexandre Fedorovski]

The findings confirm the leading role of the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency in financing and conducting military biological research on the territory of Ukraine.

The details of the UP-4 project, which was implemented with the participation of laboratories in Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, and which was planned for the period until 2020, have become known.

The aim was to study the possibilities of the spread of especially dangerous infections via migratory birds, including highly pathogenic influenza H5N1, which has a mortality rate of 50% for humans, as well as Newcastle disease.

Due to the fact that Ukraine has a unique geographical location, where the transcontinental routes of birds crossing, within the framework of this project 145 species were studied. In this case, at least two species of migratory birds were identified, whose routes pass mainly through the territory of Russia.

At the same time, information on bird migration routes through Eastern Europe was also summarized.

Of all the ways to destabilize the epidemiological situation developed in the United States, this is one of the most reckless and irresponsible, as it does not allow to control the further development of the situation.

This is confirmed by the course of the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, the emergence and characteristics of which raise many questions.

In addition, the P-721 project is of interest, where bats are considered as vectors of potential biological weapons agents.

Among the priorities is the study of bacterial and viral pathogens capable of being transmitted from bats to humans: plague, leptospirosis, and brucellosis pathogens as well as coronaviruses and viruses.

It is noteworthy that research is being carried out in the immediate vicinity of Russia's borders - the Black Sea coast and the Caucasus


.

The project is implemented with the involvement of not only Ukrainian, but also a Pentagon-controlled Georgian laboratory in cooperation with the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the U.S. Geological Survey.

The analyzed materials of the UP-8 project aimed at the study of Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever virus and Hanta viruses in Ukraine clearly refute the US public claim that the Pentagon bio-laboratories in Ukraine work exclusively with Ukrainian scientists without the intervention of American biologists.

One of the documents confirms that all serious high-risk research is conducted under the direct supervision of US specialists.

... ....The fact of payments by the US Department of Defense for participation in the research directly, without intermediaries is confirmed

...Also found evidence of the continuation of completed biological projects UP-2, UP-9, UP-10 to study anthrax pathogens, and African swine fever.

The Pentagon is also interested in insect vectors capable of spreading dangerous infectious diseases.

The analysis of the obtained materials confirms the transfer of more than 140 containers with ectoparasites of bats - fleas and ticks - from the biological laboratory in Kharkiv to foreign countries.

Characteristically, similar research was carried out in the 1940s during the creation of biological weapons components by the Japanese Unit 731, whose members subsequently fled to the United States from prosecution for war crime...

[Chillicothe]

To my ear and sensibilities all of this 'bioweapon labs in Ukraine' business smacks of Russian disinformation.

Do I trust Politifacts and Snopes more than I trust the Russians? Do bears poop in buckwheat?
Remember is was the Russians who said they were on a 'peacekeeping' mission.
Remember it was the Russians who said they would not kill civilians.
Remember it was the Russians who said it was only 'military exercises'.
Remember it was the Russians who said they didn't meddle in the 2016 US elections.
Gimme a friggin' break. Russian officialdom and military lie. They have long long enjoyed that reputation.
Everybody knows that.

Yep, nobody is denying we have labs there, they have been known about since the end of the Cold War when we help the country of Ukraine contain them so that they did not find their way to the terrorist of the world

That they are producing bio weapons is BS, but you will believe anything Russia says so it is a waste of bandwidth to trying and reason with you

 

[Chillicothe]

And here is what Axios' morning newsletter reported today:


"The White House is sounding the alarm over a new Russian propaganda campaign that officials fear is a pretext for an appalling new phase of the war:

• The use of biological or chemical weapons, Axios' Zachary Basu reports.

Why it matters: Vladimir Putin has a history of deploying illegal nerve agents against enemies, including opposition leader Alexei Navalny and former double agent Sergei Skripal. In Syria, Russia helped Bashar al-Assad cover up the use of chemical weapons against his own people.

What's happening: Kremlin propagandists have been frenetically spreading baseless claims that the Pentagon is funding dangerous bioweapons labs in Ukraine.

Reality check: The U.S. and Ukraine have vigorously denied the presence of any U.S.-backed bioweapons program, saying the only labs the U.S. supports in Ukraine are standard research facilities that focus on "diagnostics, therapeutics, treatment, prevention and vaccines."

• The Biden administration has issued statements calling the Russian claims "preposterous" and "total nonsense," and urging the world to "be on the lookout" for Russia to use chemical weapons itself or attempt a "false flag" operation in Ukraine.
• "Allegedly, we are preparing a chemical attack," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a new video address. "This makes me really worried because we've been repeatedly convinced: if you want to know Russia's plans, look at what Russia accuses others of."

Between the lines: The U.S. has repeatedly sought to debunk Russia's narratives about Ukraine by declassifying intelligence about Putin's plans ahead of time, a novel approach that undermines his element of surprise. (I bolded the above sentence to highlight it for our readers here.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll give credit to the U.S. for 'pre-empting' to some degree the Russian tactics of blaming the opposition for something that they are already doing or intend to do.

We saw that with the leaking of information that Russia would use false-flag tricks to roll into the Donbas and other breakaway regions of Ukraine, even detailing how the Russians intended to use corpses from Moscow to portray Russians murdered by Ukrainians.

Lastly, I am a fan of Axios, and would highly recommend it to readers of this forum. It is a non-paywall news site that offers timely and perceptive reportage on a variety of today's issues. And.....conveniently, they tell you how many words they are giving you, and how long you can expect to take in reading it. That is being user-friendly.

Try it, it can't hurt.

All the Russian trolls and their hanger ons pushing this lie.....getting ready to excuse the use of NBC weapons in Ukraine by Putin.

All the Russian trolls and their hanger ons pushing this lie.....getting ready to excuse the use of NBC weapons in Ukraine by Putin.

It makes no logical sense that the USA would build ANY illegal bio-weapons labs in a foreign country, much less one which has been on the verge of being taking over by the Russians for years. In that case, all of the research and weapons would fall into enemy hands.

The American government doesn't trust the Ukrainian government enough to give them advanced weapons systems to defend themselves, but they located 30 super secret and illegal weapons labs in country they don't trust. Sure, that makes sense.

The Russian truly think that Americans are a stupid and gullible people. I mean you elected Donald Trump and believe all of his lies. Many still do, despite all reasonable evidence to the contrary.

But man, all the suspected Russian trolls are sure proving whose side they're on, here.

BIO labs studying infectious diseases.

Is that supposed to be news?

What evidence is there that these labs were weaponizing these diseases?

There are thousands of Biolabs all over the world doing all kinds of research. That's what Biolabs do.

 

[BlindBoo]

Laying the groundwork to blame the US for a Chemical or Biological attack. The real question is will China support Russia if they use Chemical or Biological weapons in Ukraine?
