Thank you,

@DNIGabbard

, for exposing U.S. funded biolabs around the world. The American people deserve the truth.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard

@DNIGabbard

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. https://odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/press-releases-2026/4163-pr-10-26

US Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has released new evidence that US-funded biological laboratories in Ukraine were researching dangerous pathogens. Washington previously denied any role in running these labs.

Published on Friday, the declassified documents reveal that the US “built and supported” 40 biolabs in Ukraine, which worked with “especially dangerous pathogens” including anthrax, avian flu, Ebola, plague, and tuberculosis. At least 12 of these laboratories were carrying out human research.

Some of the laboratories were engaged in so-called ‘gain of function’ research, a controversial practice whereby animal viruses are modified to increase their virulence and transmissibility to study their effects on humans.

The partially-redacted documents state that the US paid for the construction and equipping of at least four laboratories, at a total cost of more than $9 million. They also reveal that these laboratories carried out research on behalf of and in collaboration with the US Department of Food and Agriculture, the US Army, the World Health Organization, the UN, and multiple US universities. Metabiota, a biotech company part-owned by Hunter Biden’s investment firm, is also listed as a partner.

Biological frontlines: How the US built a bioweapons network on Russia’s doorstep

As Russian troops entered Ukraine in February 2022, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed that Vladimir Zelensky’s government in Kiev ordered the “emergency destruction” of pathogens at multiple US-funded laboratories in Ukraine. The ministry accused Kiev of ordering the destruction in an attempt to hide its role in an American biological weapons program.

Documents released by the ministry included an order from the Ukrainian Ministry of Health to destroy the pathogens, which included “plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera and other deadly diseases.”

After reviewing thousands of pages of documents seized from labs in Donetsk, Lugansk and Kherson, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov of the Russian Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Forces concluded in 2023 that “the US, under the guise of ensuring global biosecurity, conducted dual-use research, including the creation of biological weapons components, in close proximity to Russian borders.” Kirillov led Russia’s investigation into the labs until he was assassinated in 2024, allegedly by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

Among the facilities mentioned by the ministry was the Institute of Veterinary Medicine in Kharkov. The Russian military accused Ukraine of researching potential biological weapons in the institute’s basement. According to Gabbard’s documents, the facility did have a basement level, where anthrax and brucella bacteria were stored. Both are considered bioweapons due to their extreme infectivity and capacity to cause debilitating illness.

Did the US deny that the biolabs existed?

Back in March 2022, then-US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland admitted under oath that “Ukraine has biological research facilities.” However, Nuland denied that these facilities worked on biological weapons, and insisted that “the United States does not own or operate any chemical or biological laboratories in Ukraine.”

The US State Department claimed that “the Kremlin is intentionally spreading outright lies that the United States and Ukraine are conducting chemical and biological weapons activities in Ukraine,” while the then-US ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, stated that “there are no Ukrainian biological weapons laboratories supported by the United States.”

Remember how the West laughed at Russia’s ‘biolabs’ claims? Here are the facts

What is Tulsi Gabbard doing about the biolabs?

“Despite the obvious potential for catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have, politicians, so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of US-funded and supported biolabs, and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth,” Gabbard said in a statement on Friday.

Gabbard said that she has issued new guidance to US intelligence agencies on collection of data from the laboratories in Ukraine, and from the broader network of US-linked biolabs around the world. At present, her office is collecting “new details on clinical trials that are underway at these facilities, raising significant ethical, financial, and security concerns,” her statement read.

However, Gabbard will not be in a position to act on this intelligence for much longer. Following her husband’s diagnosis with a rare form of bone cancer last month, Gabbard announced that she would retire at the end of June. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he would nominate US attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, to replace Gabbard as DNI. Clayton has never commented publicly on the biolabs issue.

NATO's War in Ukraine spreading into Russia thanks to the Pentagon

 

It's been more than two years since it became obvious that NATO and America were behind the proxy war in Ukraine. Both Ukraine and Russia were willing to negotiate a settlement for the abuse Russian-speaking peoples of eastern Ukraine were enduring for years, as per the Minsk accords. Neither country wanted the war, but NATO was still in need of a raison d'être as cover for being the storefront for western military industries, and America needed the war to keep the war inventories moving, otherwise the American economy would collapse. Why they are still escalating the conflict simply lends to their sheer madness.

A Russian perspective on the Kursk situation.

Column by Kirill Strelnikov, published on Ria Novosti.

All the popular "war blogger" couch channels, as well as concerned citizens who, despite persistent calls from Russian officials not to escalate the situation and remain calm, willingly or unwillingly (we'll figure this out) immediately gave up Sudzha, condemned Kursk and prepared for the victorious march of the Ukrainian terrorists to Moscow, did exactly what our enemies expected of them.

As always happens in the case of terrorist acts (and the breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces into the Kursk region is a classic terrorist act that has no objective military goals), after an information pause filled with noise, incredibly expert comments, wild speculations and necessary pictures, the true intentions and demands of their organizers are already being brought out in the information field.

Despite the fact that Western media are now clumsily trying to convince the audience that " Kiev's actions came as a surprise even to the US and its other allies," based on publicly available information, one can already conclude that the United States was behind the terrorist attack on the Kursk region, including planning, implementation, and talented information directing.

You don't have to be a million-follower couch blogger to simply compare yesterday's Western publications, where comments from American officials and statements from representatives of Zelensky's gang appeared simultaneously, repeating each other not only word for word, but also letter for letter.

Having waited for the right time, the Ukrainian pseudo-president Zelensky made a statement from every Western iron as a snack with the following passages: "Russia brought war to our land and must feel the consequences"; "Everyone can see that the Ukrainian army knows how to surprise and how to achieve results"; "This is demonstrated on the battlefield, where our soldiers confront superior forces."

Remember? Key words and thoughts: consequences, Russia itself is to blame , surprise, ability to surprise, could be worse.

Then, after the first and second, there was an addition - the adviser to the office of the pseudo-president of Ukraine, Podolyak, put in his voice, who stated: "The root of every escalation (including Kursk ) is the unequivocal aggression on the part of Russia, which believes that it is possible to invade Ukraine without consequences"; "Russia is reaping the fruits of its actions."

Key words and thoughts: consequences, Russia itself is to blame, it could be worse.

After the compote, dessert was served.

Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh, in response to a clearly prepared question about whether the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on the Kursk region would lead to escalation, stated that this operation is not an escalation, because reducing the escalation is in the hands of the Russian president: "If we want to reduce the escalation, the best way to do this is for Putin to make a decision to withdraw troops from Ukraine."

Key words and thoughts: consequences, Russia itself is to blame, it could be worse.

And like a thin chocolate glaze, the directorial role of the already well-known American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which is the drain tank of the US deep state, runs through all Western publications.

As Zelensky's press secretary, this "institute" gives the same comment in almost every publication: "The significant progress that Ukraine has made in three days (in the Kursk region) indicates that Ukrainian forces can achieve operational success and surprise along the entire border with Russia."

The key words and thoughts are still the same: surprise, the ability to surprise, it could be worse.

In other words, we are witnessing a carefully prepared and coordinated terrorist and information attack by the Americans, and their organizers and perpetrators are making little secret of the fact that the US and Ukraine carried them out in a completely synchronized tandem.

At the same time, the Pentagon reported that Ukraine's actions in the Kursk region and the use of American weapons there do not violate the rules by which Washington provides support to Kiev. Answering the question of whether the Kursk region is a region in which, according to the US, Ukraine can use weapons transferred by Washington, the Pentagon representative said with a straight face: "Yes, this is in line with our policy."

At the same time, information was received from the US Department of Defense that the American military provided, is providing and will provide Ukraine with "necessary intelligence data", including the operation in the Kursk region, and news also appeared about the development of the issue of granting Kyiv permission to strike with long-range high-precision weapons deep into Russian territory.

All of the above speaks to one simple thing.

The remaining hopes of some that Kyiv and Washington have certain red lines that they will not cross can be safely thrown into the trash.

The main goal of the Americans in the terrorist operation in the Kursk region is to show Russia that they can give Kyiv any order, even if it is suicidal for it. The main message: Russia must now understand that the Americans are ready to commit any atrocities and crimes through the hands of the Ukrainians, and the way to avoid this is to retreat and surrender.

Many on our side thought that we were fighting a crazed terrorist Ukrainian regime, but now it should be obvious to everyone that the main terrorists are not sitting in Kyiv and the conversation with them should be completely different; there will be no return to negotiations in the previous format.

It is obvious that with the confident advance of our troops to the West and the inevitable collapse of the Ukrainian army and the Ukrainian Nazi government itself, the terrorist threat from the US and Ukraine will only increase, because this is the only option where they can, in some cases, get ahead of us and cause pain.

In this regard, one cannot but agree with the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev , who once again looks at the root of the matter:

"There is another important political and legal consequence of what happened. From this moment on, the SVO must acquire an openly extraterritorial character. This is no longer just an operation to return our official territories and punish the Nazis. It is possible and necessary to go to the lands of the still existing Ukraine. To Odessa , to Kharkov , to Dnepropetrovsk , to Nikolaev . To Kiev and further. There should be no restrictions in the sense of some borders of the Ukrainian Reich recognized by someone. And now it is possible and necessary to talk about this openly, without embarrassment and diplomatic curtseys. The terrorist operation of the Banderites must remove any taboos from this topic. Let everyone, including the English bastards, realize this: we will stop only when we consider it acceptable and beneficial for ourselves."

Those who shed the blood of innocent people in the Kursk region are already being punished: according to reports from the field, our forces are pounding the terrorists with tripled force, the enemy's losses are enormous, there is an acute shortage of donor blood in the Sumy region , and the roads are filled with ambulances.

Do we feel sorry for them? Let us answer with the message of one of the Russian fighters who is currently conducting a cleanup near Sudzha: "The enemy will not just be defeated, humiliated and destroyed, we will kill them all. Everyone we can reach, and we will reach many."
