On Wednesday, the White House claimed without evidence that Russia might use chemical or biological weapons to create a false flag operation in Ukraine. The White House also dismissed Moscow’s accusations that the US is involved in biological weapons research in Ukraine even though there are Pentagon-linked labs in the country.
On Twitter, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said to be on the lookout “for Russia to possibly use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine, or to create a false flag operation using them.” She said Russia’s claim of the US having biological weapons labs in Ukraine is “preposterous.”
Psaki’s denial comes a day after Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland said there are “biological research facilities” in Ukraine the US is concerned Russian forces might seize. Nuland made the comments after being asked if there are bioweapons in Ukraine and said the US is working with the Ukrainians to keep “research materials” out of Russia’s hands.
The Russian military has claimed that it uncovered 30 biological laboratories in Ukraine linked to the Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia has documents that show Ukraine ordered the destruction of samples of plague, cholera, anthrax, and other pathogens before Russia launched its attack on February 24.
According to a February 25 article from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, the US government has worked with 26 biological research facilities in Ukraine. The article quoted Robert Pope of the DTRA’s Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, who warned some of the labs could have Pathogens leftover from the Soviet Union’s bioweapons program.
More like the CIA is gonna launch a biological/chemical false flag and blame it on Russia. Anything that happens will be blamed on Russia just like everything that happens in the middle east is blamed on Iran
Kinda like the Syrian episode?
Kinda like the 2016 election?
Kinda like the out-of-control gas prices?
Kinda like the Lindbergh baby kidnapping?
Kinda like the … ?
These people have gone nutters! Having been caught with pants down on bio labs, so drama is needed to counter this.
Who will believe that? Nobody on esrth. They have no credibility. With stunts like this in Syria. Boris Johnson’s Skripal cheap theater. and even cheaper Navalni nonsense.
But are willing to escallate! Like are idiots, who are they trying to convince?
Its not about convincing anyone they are telling the truth, its a demonstration of dominance made sharper by clearly being a lie.
Now here you are spot on. Excellent observation.
Except it evokes an image of cold-eyed brutality, the role currently supposed to be casted for Putin
Yet many of our TV and movie antihero heroes have that edginess.
Putin’s supposed to be the bad guy without a heart, which distinguishes him from the brutal hero with a heart.
Yes; typical upper class nose in the air dominance lie.
Do you have the audacity to doubt my veracity and insinuate that I prevaricate?
Given how readily and totally uncritically our western intelligence narrative has been swallowed I seriously fear a set up and that the dimwitted masses will fall for it too
“Who will believe that? Nobody on earth.”
I wish that were true Bianca. But I’m guessing a very disgustingly large part of the US population will buy it hook, line and sinker.
I agree, just throw in some free worms…
They are trying and succeding in convincing their populations that Russia is the great enemy , because one day they will be called on to fight Russians , you have to get your population to hate another population to get them to fight, as was the case in Vietnam the US Army hated the Vietnames but when asked why they couldn`t give a answer .
White House Claims US Could Launch Biological or Chemical Attack in Ukraine
More like it. Why would we have that lab in a country right next to Russia??????
Is this considered leaving their options open?…. What a twisted bit of business….
Wow isn’t that ironic, Russia invades and actually does find WMD’s. What has V NuLand and the Neocon’s been up to since they over threw the Ukrainian government in 2014.
I heard that we opened Gitmo because there were things we could do there that would be illegal to do here.
Can anybody think of a legitimate reason for the Pentagon to open a biohazard lab in Ukraine instead of doing the research here?
If there was a lab accident it would be Ukrainians / Eruopeans that would be killed ,
I think you make a reasonable assertion, in terms of the level of so called rationale that goes on at that level…
Of course. who would care??
We ARE doing research here. UNC in North Carolina has had several “incidents”, one involving a researcher being bitten by a mouse infected by a pathogen, leaving the premises. There have been a total of 6 “oopsies”. We are also doing research at Ft. Detrick and the U. of Washington. That is all I know or have read about. We provided Saddam with the product or the starters that were manufactured in Rochester, NY.
Ever hear of a cia black site?
Many Putin trolls here lol
And only one NATO troll? Say it isn’t so!
It can be a bit of fun hanging out for a bit with a troll. We just need to know when to put the bridge down (on top of his head)…
what makes a post a post from a Putin troll?
Anything that doesn’t swallow US propaganda.
There’s tons of info on this. Vooch above linked to the main investigator.
Nonetheless, we still don’t have definitive proof that any of these pathogens were weaponized – yet. I’m waiting for more Russian documentation. But the whole thing is seriously suspicious, no doubt about that. Would not surprise me in the slightest that this was intended for an eventual bio attack on Russia in the event of a major war.
The last line of your comment tells us all we need to know .
Ukraine sure has the White Helmets of their own… Or do they import them from Syria…?
I believe the White Helmets did ask to come to Ukraine IIRC. There was a story on it a short while back.
Given that Ukraine was so anxious to please NATO that they sent 5,000 soldiers to help with the attack on Iraq, I would not be surprised if they engaged in Gain of Function Research; a research that was prohibited in the West at the time.
After all, Lithuania, Poland, Romania just revealed that they were housing the CIA’s black sites.
Psaki’s accusation that Russia might use bioweapons shows that the news hit a nerve.
Hi Marti
Regarding Ukrainian troops in Iraq…
Ain’t karma a bitch?
Or as I prefer to say, paybacks are a MF’er.
It is well known that some of the guards at the camps were from Ukraine.
Fiesty!
It’s those pesky Chinese who first brought this up;
What are secret US bio weapons labs doing in the heart of Nazi land? We know the US funded Nazis early on in WW2 is this a repeat leading to WW3?
Prescott Bush made a few bucks, almost right up to when we entered the war in Europe.
V Nuland was choking on her words when she admitted we had, um, biological, research, um, facilities in the Ukraine. I’m sure we’re absolutely desperate to keep those out of the hands of Russia, as they might find out we’ve been, um, researching the flu or finding a cure for the common cold. Nothing dangerous- no, we’d never do anything like that. Never, never, never.
Can I have a sip of your coffee? I’m still waiting on mine… Nothing dangerous, of course not!
(US government are such liars!)
Here are links to the building contracts for the bio-labs in Ukraine. Please share and download, printout or save in a drive. (You know they are working overtime to get this information off the internet.) The contracts date back to 2011.

Translation: The US/NATO are going to stage some chemical or biological attack and blame that on the Russians.
NATO is so confident of their narrative control, they aren’t even trying to make a convincing lie, just demonstrate dominance by forcing everyone to accept an obvious lie.
That will be the most likely thing to happen. They did the same in Syria. It’s a typical American ploy to get public opinion behind them.
I think that is fairly status quo.!
The West: Do as we say not as we do or we will bomb you and since we are the good guys we can do no wrong,though we do what the bad guys do for the same thing…Sorta
That sounds fairly accurate and not entirely unreasonable… Given their line of thinking…
Its only bout 500 years old so practice makes perfect? Or simply acceptable? The continant of Africa will suffer from the effects of colonialism for a long long time…
Well said Deganawida, well said…
thanks, but i wish i wrong about stuff like this. It shouldnt have been this way and no excuse for it now,except for what its always been about; power control and profit(king of the hill bs)…

This journalist has been reporting on the Pentagon Biowarfare labs in Ukraine for years. She has copious amounts of pentagon and state depart documents.

All i read here are Putin Nazi lovers. Go ahead and keep supporting his shit Armed Forces. Ukraine will win.
Hope they gain momentum and reclaim Crimea.
You’re running out of oil, better head back to the factory
Looks like someone was born yesterday.
Not one comment here praising Putin. Pointing out US habitually lying isn’t praising Putin or showing support for his armed forces.
Not one word criticizing Putin either. For the most part, posters on “Anti-war” are Putin cheerleaders. This site would more aptly be called “anti/America” or “anti-west”.
I’ve called Putin a thug on more than one occasion. He is ex-KGB for Christ’s sake. Thinking Russia is right about their security issues and thinking Putin is indeed a thug aren’t mutually exclusive. This site is anti-war and the US is the biggest warmonger. Pretty simple really.
For the most part American foreign policy has been a force for good throughout history. I almost never see criticism here of some of the worst and most murderous regimes. I include China, Iran and any number of African countries. I suppose killing your own people doesn’t rise to the level of misbehaviour that the “anti war” crowd finds worthy of criticism.
😆
Sure, and the 20 million people the US has wasted(killed)since the last declared war is proof of our “good” foreign policy. Maybe we should ask the people of Iraq about our goodness. And does China or Iran have bases spread across the globe? Imposing economically devastating sanctions on half the globe? “Defense” budgets that dwarf any other country by leaps and bounds? And weren’t we talking about foreign policy when you bring up “killing your own people”? But that’s always the go to response whenever anyone points out the brutality of the US. By the way, we incarcerate more than those “murderous” regimes you mentioned with a large percentage of those being of the victimless crime variety.
It is a LOT more than 20 million.
In 2021, the U.S. “passed the biggest defense spending bill in history, to the tune of $768 billion.”
There have been years of “missing money” from the massive “defense” funds:
Mark Skidmore, a professor of economics at Michigan State University did research on military spending and found “…a mind-boggling $21 trillion of Pentagon financial transactions between 1998 and 2015 could not be traced, documented, or explained.” $21 TRILLION in “missing” money.
I have no doubt that the warmongers who own both major U.S. political parties and control our foreign policy for their own very narrow “foreign interest” have engaged in massive money laundering schemes for payoffs to politicians (foreign and domestic), lining their own pockets, etc. Also, taking over countries by putting in like-minded front men (see: U.S.-backed coup in Ukraine in 2014) for money laundering purposes and to benefit their narrow and specific foreign policy interest.
Sorry man, I meant 20 million people. I will edit my comment.
I`ve been anti American since they invaded Korea in 1953 and another 31 countries suffered the same fate since the last one was Iraq , i`ve learned a thing or two in 60 plus years of following politics reading and researching , pity you don`t do the same.
Plus, meddling in 81 elections……….
I hope Putin wipes out the NAZI Ukraine US puppet and parks nukes on Europes border , ain`t pay back a biatch.
“Putin NAZI lovers”??? Really?
Classic case of projection on the part of the U.S.
The US was caught doing work in Ukraine with anthrax, work that was illegal in the US and in violation of US treaty commitments.
So it says Russia is about to do the same.
Maybe Russia is. That has nothing to do with the US saying that just now.
Busted. Change the subject. Point at the other guy.
VERY bad headline.
To a casual reader the headline makes it appear as though the WH claims are true.
Not if that casual reader can … oh, you know, what’s that thing called? Oh, yeah: Read.
And No…! Unless you are a regular aniwar.com reader, the public make their own conclusion based on the format of the article title without clicking on it and read its contents…!
Which part of “White House Claims” is unclear?
“Claim” in US political description language usually means “Lying”…!
I keep rereading it and I keep seeing “claims without evidence”. I really don’t get what you are talking about. No comma?
It’s called Brainwashing Scheme…! Get it…!
How clever! Just count on US public with a fruit fly memory.
News 1.
Russia finds MMD in Ukraine buikt by Pentagon.
News 2.
Russia may use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine.
Just blend the two.
The US aka evil empire knew Iraq had chemical and biological weapons because they checked their receipts. It’s the same old story.
It sounds like the fake WMD of Iraq all over again…!
The American military is funding these labs to do cancer research for children in a low profile “hearts & minds” operation, any other explanation is ludicrous
It appears that Russia did in Ukraine what the US was unable to in Iraq – launched an attack on a nation which was in possession of prohibited biological weapons.
“It appears that Russia did in Ukraine what the US was unable to in Iraq – launched an attack on a nation which was in possession of prohibited biological weapons.”
ABSOLUTELY.
Not Was…Still Is…!
See the usual tricks, as the bio weapons lab is revealed and Nuland/Rubio claim it is the Russians who are responsible 100%. Russia has all the documents of course, but this is dangerous escalation.
Russian specialists of the NBC protection troops have studied documents on the transfer of human biomaterials taken in Ukraine to foreign countries on the instructions of US representatives.
Detailed information about the implementation of a project by the United States on the territory of Ukraine to study the transfer of pathogens by wild birds migrating between Ukraine and Russia and other neighboring countries was of particular interest. According to the documents, the American side planned to organize work on pathogens of birds, bats and reptiles in Ukraine in 2022. And further study of the possibility to transfer of African swine fever and anthrax by them.
According to the documents, experiments with samples of bat coronavirus were carried out in biological laboratories created and funded in Ukraine. We know that the United States had a contract with the Wuhan Lab in China to supply samples of bat coronavirus via Eco Health Alliance.
The purpose of these and other Pentagon-funded biological research in Ukraine was the creation of mechanism for the covert spread of deadliest pathogens. On the evidence presented it would appear that the United States had criminally breached international law on The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC).
The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) effectively prohibits the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of biological and toxin weapons. It was the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning an entire category of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
This is a casus belli for war, Obama, Clinton, Trump, Biden Et Al. must be arrested and presented to the Hague for their many many crimes against humanity.
I wonder if china and/or Russia will respond militarily to these crimes committed by the evil empire?
I would assume that Russia went in looking for this evidence of Bio Weapons and Nuclear Weapons.
Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov emphasized that his government had nothing to do with the opening of these centers. The decision to start their work was made by Yulia Tymoshenko’s cabinet. An agreement was signed between the US Department of Defense and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on the establishment of such laboratories in August 2005 under the presidency of Viktor Yushchenko.
“Since 2005, the United States has established laboratories in Odessa, Vinnytsia, Lvov, Kherson, Ternopil and a number of other settlements in Ukraine. I emphasize that these are the laboratories of the American military, ”says the former head of the cabinet.
According to Mykola Azarov, after his government came to power in 2010, negotiations were launched with the Americans on this issue. In 2012, Kyiv started talking about granting Ukrainian scientists access to these centers or their complete closure. At that time, inspections of the activities of these laboratories were initiated. In 2013, we sent an official letter to the US Government to terminate this agreement.
The rest is History and the Government was overthrown by the US embassy in Kiev using the worst elements of the Ukrainian society.
This is a casus belli for war, Obama, Clinton, Trump, Biden Et Al. must be arrested and presented to the Hague for their many many crimes against humanity.
