Recently, a data released by the Russian Ministry of Defense shows that the United States has spent more than $200 million on the operation of biological laboratories in Ukraine, which are involved in the US military biological program. Records show that as early as 2005, the United States had plans to fund biological laboratories in Ukraine, according to the Russian Satellite News Agency.

A media briefing kept by the U.S. Armed Forces Anti-Proliferation Center described how then-U.S. Senator Richard Lugar "praised the opening of the Interim Central Reference Laboratory (ICRL) in Odessa, Ukraine."

The lab is a tertiary biosafety laboratory, which means its equipment can handle the most dangerous pathogens on the planet, such as anthrax and cogeremia. The article quoted the late senator as saying that the lab was specifically designed to study these pathogens.
In addition, an archived version of the report in August of the same year showed that plans for the establishment of a "temporary central reference laboratory" in Ukraine date back to 2005.
At the time, Lugar and then-Senator Obama were coordinating efforts with Ukrainian authorities to study and help prevent the spread of bird flu. Coincidentally, the results of the Russian Ministry of Defense show that avian influenza is one of the pathogens being studied in the Kiev laboratory.
Eventually, Ukraine signed an agreement with the United States under the Nunn-Lugar Act that sought to remove weapons of mass destruction from the former Soviet Union and agreed to build a modern laboratory inside Ukraine to handle and study dangerous pathogens.
Previously reported, the Russian side said that biological laboratory documents obtained from Ukraine show that on February 24, the day Russia launched a special military operation, the laboratory "urgently destroyed" pathogens of plague, anthrax, rabbit fever, cholera and other deadly diseases.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Newland admitted at a congressional hearing on the 8th that "Ukraine has biological research facilities" and that "the United States is cooperating with the Ukrainian side to prevent those research materials from falling into the hands of the Russian army."
Even American media sources believe that the U.S. government is lying about Ukraine's secret biological laboratory. Tucker Carlson, a TV host of the Fox News Channel in the United States, pointed out on the 10th that Newland's words proved that the United States did set up a very worrying and dangerous laboratory in Ukraine, and there were research materials in the laboratory that were afraid to let Russia get, which may be materials for the development of biological weapons. But the U.S. government is not telling the truth about what these labs are doing.
