According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the United States has spent more than $200 million to build a network of more than 30 biological laboratories in Ukraine, some of which have been engaged in the research and development of biological and chemical weapons. The United States also recognizes that there are at least 26 cooperative biological laboratories in Ukraine.
According to public information on the website of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, a reporter from the Central Radio and Television Corporation found that there are three biological laboratories supported by the United States in Lviv, a western Ukrainian city. Guided by the information on the webpage, the reporter found one of the three biological laboratories at the "Lviv Institute of Epidemiology and Health" at 12 Green Avenue in Lviv.
Three biological laboratories set up in Ukraine: Lviv Institute of Epidemiology and Health, Lviv Diagnostic Laboratory, Lviv Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory
Yang Chun: As can be seen on this information page, he has set up a lot of biological laboratories in Ukraine, and what interests us is that there are three in Lviv, named Lviv Institute of Epidemiology and Health, Lviv Diagnostic Laboratory, lviv veterinary diagnostic laboratory. We now want to try to find out whether the first public information is accurate, such as the Lviv Institute of Epidemiology and Health, whether it is a real institution. At the same time in Lviv, what are the main research directions and goals of the biological laboratories in the United States? Although the Cyrillic alphabet is not very well confirmed, but we have repeatedly identified it and determined that this is Green Street, so 12 Green Street should be further in the front direction.
This should be an old building, and the blue sign at the door confirms its identity even more, because in Ukraine, this blue sign is only a public state organ.
Research Institute Janitor: No filming is allowed here, no filming is allowed.
The main entrance was not allowed to enter, and the reporter went around the back door of the institute, which also had the sign of the new crown virus test written on it, but when the reporter was about to walk over...
Institute staff: Don't go any closer, I'm calling the police.
How an epidemiological research institute could be so sensitive to interview shooting may be found on the website of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine. In a cooperation agreement published on the website, the funding donor column is "United States Ministry of Defense", the recipient is "Ministry of Health of Ukraine", and the specific recipient is "Lviv Institute of Epidemiology and Health".
Yang Chun: The amount of assistance received is more than 1.53 million US dollars, in such a cooperative program of a biological laboratory funded and assisted by the US Department of Defense, what kind of results have been achieved in research in Ukraine? We entered such a database as the National Library of Medicine, if we enter words like Ukraine, Lviv, you can get some of the search results, the clinical and infectious characteristics of leptospirosis in Ukraine, the author thanks the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and the Ukraine Biological Threat Reduction Program, the author's statement is more obvious, the direct translation is the author thanks to the United States Department of Defense, thanks to such a biological cooperation participation program, We note that the main medical papers on Lviv, Ukraine, included on the website of the National Library of Medicine, are all about leptospirosis.
The laboratory focuses on severely pathogenic pathogenic bacteria
Yang Chun: What can be determined is that it is an infectious disease, and this leptospirosis is a potentially serious infection caused by leptospirosis bacteria, or bacteriums to be exact. This serious and potentially fatal infectious disease can damage many organs, including the liver and kidneys. At present, we can confirm that the United States does conduct research on infectious diseases here, and one of the important projects is leptospirosis.
The US side can obtain the research results of the research laboratory at any time
Yang Chun: We can also confirm that the United States can obtain any data throughout the experimental process. Of course, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine has repeatedly publicly claimed that they are conducting normal scientific research in Ukraine. (Reporter Yang Chun, Li Chunyuan)
