    There's very little verifiable information, but what I can gather is that there are BSL-2 bioresearch labs in Ukraine, which do research into diseases etc. And, the Ukrainian ministry of Health has received money from the USA, WHO, and EU, not unusual.

    I'm sure, with the gigantic budget they have, the DoD does research into bioweapons of some kind. The US has used them in past wars.

    But why would they do it... Across an ocean and half a continent? In a politically unstable region? Whereas traditional armaments are way easier to develop, and lucrative to the MIC? What's the accusation here, that the US funds research (?) on weapons for biological warfare (?) in Ukraine ???

        Yes, this is also a factor. The US has opened biolabs throughout the Soviet Union to "make sure the labs and scientists didn't fall into the wrong hands" - in the War on Terror era, this referred mostly to Salafis (that was the excuse given in Central Asia), now it's pivoted to neo Cold War hawkery.

      Outsourcing, and it's also a threat to Russia that the US could "whoopsy" those pathogens right next door. The US has funded biolabs in Kazakhstan for years for similar reasons (right next to Russia and China!)

      Partially because something like bio or chemical weapons make an effective gulf of Tonkin type false flag to get even greater use of traditional weapons to bring profit to MIC.
