DISINFO: Hunter Biden linked to US Biolabs in Ukraine

SUMMARY

The issue of US bio labs in Ukraine took a curious turn: editors confirmed the authenticity of documents about Hunter Biden's involvement in US Bio funding in the CIS region.

Hunter was known to have a shell company called Seneca through which he laundered his income abroad.

Metabiota was a subcontractor to Black & Veatch, one of the Pentagon's major biosecurity partners. Black & Veatch was contracted to build a bio-lab in Odessa to "study biological attacks".

The White House has been unable to provide a coherent response to questions about these notorious labs. But it has ceaselessly pumped weapons into Kyiv, provoking conflict - in the hope that the evidence against the Bidens will disappear along with Ukraine.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about bioweapons and alleged secret biolaboratories in Ukraine. This disinformation claim also targets Hunter Biden, vilifying the family of the president of US.

The claim is made in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022.

According to the UN, there are no signs of any biological weapons programme conducted in Ukraine, despite the claims made by Russia.

Russia's allegations about the alleged biological weapons programmes in Ukraine have been also debunked by independent media.

No evidence was provided about Seneca Thornton's involvement in financing Ukrainian biological research laboratories in Ukraine.
