DISINFO: Virology laboratories in Ukraine are testing viruses and chemical weapons on their own citizens

SUMMARY

How can virology laboratories appear in a state that develops viruses or chemical weapons, in the interests of other states, by testing on their own citizens? How can this be? There is evidence that this is going on in Ukraine.

RESPONSE

No evidence is given. Conspiracy theory and recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about the US developing biological and/or chemical weapons around the world. In fact, such virology laboratories in Ukraine are involved in preventing the risks of complex diseases by pathogens and, together with other similar projects, counteracting bioterrorism.
