US biolabs revelations vindicate Russian warnings – Moscow

US biolabs revelations vindicate Russian warnings – Moscow Russia’s Ministry of Defense stated that new information released by US intelligence regarding American-funded biolabs in Ukraine confirms their suspicions of a military dimension to the research. A US intelligence director confirmed some facilities were involved in gain-of-function research, which Russia argues can be a cover for military programs banned under the Biological Weapons Convention. Russia asserts that accusations of its disinformation are false and points to the published documents as proof that the Ukrainian regime is violating treaty obligations.

• Russia claims a recent US intelligence release about American-funded biolabs in Ukraine validates its long-held suspicions of military research.
• US intelligence confirmed that some of these labs were involved in gain-of-function research, a field that aims to make pathogens more dangerous for vaccine development.
• Russia argues that such studies can serve as a cover for military programs prohibited by the Biological Weapons Convention.
• Moscow refutes Western claims that its assertions are disinformation, presenting the published documents as proof of treaty violations by Ukraine.
• The Russian briefing also touched upon the possible role of gain-of-function research in COVID-19’s origins and accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of steering investigations.
• Fauci directed US funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology while heading the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
