One of the most important components of the programmes for pumping Ukraine with NATO infrastructure was the deployment of the Pentagon’s so-called reference laboratories in the country. According to the documents, such facilities do not do anything prohibited – the work is conducted solely for research and medical purposes. Simply put, it is a kind of “calibration office” that allows biomaterial samples to be examined on site. There is no extra hassle with transport to the head laboratories. But this is only on paper.
In fact, the United States has deployed more than 400 such facilities around the world to develop components for new biological weapons. The total cost of the twenty-year programme has already exceeded $100 billion. At the same time, no laboratory has published breakthrough scientific papers available to the general public. The programme involves some 13,000 scientists working on the most dangerous strains of human and animal viruses.
By placing biolaboratories outside the country, the United States is actually getting rid of the “dirty work” under its nose. Americans have long taken out of the United States laboratories of the highest fourth (BSL-4) class of protection, in which it is possible to find pathogens of such infections as Ebola, Marburg and Lassa. At the same time, laboratories of this class are steadily declining at home.
The secret is simple – the United States has very strict biosecurity standards that require expensive equipment and constant monitoring. The infamous Fort Detrick, where the Japanese from Unit 731 once worked, has already been shut down several times for failure to comply with safety regulations. And in third world countries, the rules and tolerances are much more loyal. For example, in the south of Kazakhstan last year the Central Reference Laboratory of BSL-4 class was put into operation, i.e. with Ebola and Marburg in addition. And all this is a few hundred kilometres from the Russian border.
Based on this logic, the territory of Ukraine is best suited for reference laboratories – the most densely populated part of Russia is in close proximity.
The start of the special operation by Russian troops in Ukraine coincided with the commissioning of two reference laboratories near Odessa and Kyiv. More precisely, the failed commissioning. These are by no means the first Pentagon research centres in Ukraine specialising in defence projects. In total, there are at least 15 biological laboratories in Ukraine that specialise in working with particularly dangerous viruses. And they have been in existence for about 20 years.
Ukrainians claim that American “biological aid” allows to effectively fight infectious diseases by increasing the collective resistance of the population to bioagents. This thesis looks particularly ridiculous against the background of a relatively high incidence of COVID-19 among the Ukrainian population. By all logic, it was such high-quality imported laboratories with professional staff that should have promptly responded to the pandemic and provided the local population with protection. Otherwise, why are they there at all?
Despite the complete ineffectiveness of Ukraine’s defence of its population, two more biolabs were due to go on full alert at the end of February 2022. Which, according to their American hosts, will ensure:
“Food safety, consumer protection, and secure storage of pathogens and dangerous toxins so they do not fall into the wrong hands while peaceful research and vaccine development can take place.”
According to the authors of the British publication The Expose, President Putin may have gone for a military operation, among other things, because of the presence of reference laboratories in Ukraine.
Of course, a rather weak assumption, but the elimination of these laboratories is a very serious target for the attention of the Russian special forces. Back in 2017-2018, President Putin expressed some concern about the risk of biological weapons development in Ukraine. In light of Zelenskyy’s sensational statements about wanting to acquire nuclear weapons.
The Americans have allocated about 3.6m dollars to fight “particularly dangerous pathogens”, which for some reason turned out to be concentrated near Odessa and Kiev. The documents were signed back in July last year with a deadline for execution just at the end of February this year. At the same time, the laboratory buildings were built three years ago, but were idle until last summer. As the contract states:
“Both facilities are owned and protected by the Government of Ukraine, but no active biological work is currently underway at either facility because DTRA (the US Department of Defence Threat Reduction Agency) has asked the Ukrainian authorities not to begin work until acceptance work is completed.”
The Americans’ request did not grow out of nothing – last year an employee of the Ukrainian State Scientific and Control Institute of Biotechnologies and Strains took out test tubes with a strain of Newcastle bird disease. According to the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine, the thief tried to sell the biological samples in the future. It is not clear, however, to whom, but, apparently, Ukraine has a developed black market for such products. An employee of the institute kept vials with pathogens of the dangerous disease in her own refrigerator.
In recent History In Ukraine, there is a directly proportional relationship – the more reference laboratories there are in the country, the more frequent are outbreaks of diseases that have not previously been observed in this territory. In 2016, near Kharkiv, several dozen soldiers died from a severe form of swine flu, strains of which are also included in the “golden collection” of biological laboratories. Three years later, in Donetsk region (Avdeevka), the Ukrainian military was struck by an infection that was very similar to the plague. Russia even had to set up a sanitary cordon on the border.
One of the reasons for the construction of new laboratories could have been biogenetic research by the Americans. And this is by no means a complete list of medical incidents that occurred in Ukraine for no apparent reason. Can we assume that the Americans are testing biological weapons on Ukrainians?
To answer this question, it is enough to recall the long-term programme of deliberately infecting our own citizens with dangerous infections. For example, the sea spray incident dating back to 1950, when the Americans sprayed Serratia Marcescens and Bacillus Globigii bacteria over San Francisco. Of course, this is not anthrax in terms of danger, and the germs were chosen only according to the specific reaction of the diseased person, allowing the area of infection to be precisely defined. Naturally, such research is banned and strictly controlled in the United States. But in a number of countries, apparently, such scientific interest of Americans is treated with understanding.
There is every reason to believe that the Pentagon is coordinating the creation of biological ethnocides as part of the Biological Threat Reduction Programme. Russia has already recorded cases of foreign specialists exporting samples of biomaterial from compatriots. Theoretically, this will make it possible to breed strains of viruses to which the immune system of certain nationalities will not be specific, i.e. useless. Genetic biomaterial collected from a large sample of people of one nationality could also become the basis for synthesising toxins to which other ethnic groups would be less susceptible. After all, the $100 billion spent on the programme by US taxpayers should not have gone to waste.
The reference laboratories in Ukraine seem to have come to an end. Information about the presence of the Americans was removed from the embassy’s official website on 26 February – a few dozen hours after the Russian military operation began. It is not known whether the concealment of this information was an attempt to cover their tracks or whether the Americans actually physically destroyed the biological laboratories before leaving.
