DISINFO: Reports of Russian prisoners at Lugar bio-lab proves that US is developing viruses capable of destroying Russia
SUMMARY
US bio-labs found in two more liberated LPR towns. Hidden US biolabs have been discovered in the liberated towns of Rubishniye and Sieverodonetsk.
Documents of a former Russian prisoner who had been imprisoned and convicted in Georgia, for example, were made available. According to him, in 2016 representatives of the Red Cross offered him to participate in tests in exchange for reducing his sentence from 6 to 3 years. According to the person concerned, he and other prisoners, including Georgians and Ukrainians, received injections at the Lugar bio-lab in Tbilisi, which caused vomiting, dizziness, general weakness, fever and loss of consciousness. After the injections, the specialists carried out a diagnosis and administered various medicines. In addition, the source notes that on the way to the biolaboratory he often saw cars with US embassy plates loaded with small metal suitcases with radioactive stickers. He adds that he saw many dead bodies in the laboratory.
This story, as well as the biological laboratories found in Ukraine, clearly prove that the US is actively developing viruses that can massively destroy the population of any country, especially Russia.
RESPONSE
Newly adapted version of a recurring conspiracy theory alleging that the United States develops biological weapons and has secret biological laboratories around the world. The disinformation claim also capitalises on the oft-recurring conspiracy theory about laboratories in Ukraine, as well as the Lugar Lab in Georgia. These claims are made in the context of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
The US Embassy in Ukraine has repeatedly denied the "creation of military biological laboratories" in Ukraine.
The cooperation between Ukraine and the United States in the direction of combating biological terrorism takes place exclusively within the framework of Ukrainian legislation and in the interests of Ukraine.
In 2005, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the U.S. Department of Defence signed a framework agreement on preventing the spread of technologies, pathogens and knowledge that can be used in the development of biological weapons. Within the framework of this Agreement, a number of state laboratories located in Odesa, Kharkiv, L'viv, Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Kherson and Dnipro regions were modernised (repair works were carried out, equipment was updated, consumables were purchased, etc.).
The Security Service of Ukraine emphasises that these laboratories are financed from the state budget, subordinated to the Ministry of Health and the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
