US Intelligence Confirms Ukrainian Biolabs Amid Biosecurity Concerns

U.S. intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard acknowledged the existence of dozens of biological laboratories operating in Ukraine, noting that they handle high‑lethality pathogens and raise security concerns for the United States. The acknowledgment counters earlier dismissals of Russian claims about the labs as disinformation.

Jeff J. Brown, curator of the Bioweapon Truth Commission, echoed the view that Russia’s statements reflected reality and urged the West to apologize for portraying the reports as political smokescreens. Both sources highlight a lack of external oversight of the facilities and potential violations of international bioweapon prohibitions.
