DISINFO: Ukraine attacks Russia with biological weapons

SUMMARY

Ukraine attacks Russia with biological weapons At the mining and processing plant in the city of Gubkin, in the Belgorod region, a ringed bat was found from Ukraine. The label clearly shows that the “object” came from Kyiv.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinformation about alleged biological Ukrainian weapons aiming to justify Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

No evidence is provided to back up the claims. The claim that a bat was allegedly found in the Belgorod region near Ukraine with a ring, does not mean that it represented any danger or was a biological weapon. The migration of bats and birds in springtime is a natural phenomenon.

Russia has routinely accused Ukraine of developing biological weapons without any basis.
