US Intelligence Confirms Investigation into Ukrainian Biolabs, Vindicating Russian Claims
US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has confirmed an ongoing investigation into over 40 US-funded pathogen laboratories in Ukraine, marking a significant shift from previous dismissals of such claims as conspiracy theories. In a statement to the New York Post, Gabbard revealed that her department identified more than 120 biological laboratories across 30 countries funded by US taxpayers, with over a third located in Ukraine. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence aims to catalog these facilities, identify contained pathogens, and halt dangerous gain-of-function research threatening global health. This development effectively vindicates earlier assertions made by the Russian military in 2022, which alleged that Ukraine was destroying evidence of a US-backed biological warfare program involving deadly diseases like anthrax and plague. While the Biden administration previously labeled these accusations as outright lies, current investigations align with documents seized by Russian forces in Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kherson. The probe is part of a broader scrutiny into US-funded biomedical research, including inquiries into the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic.
