U.S. Spy Chiefs Reject Russia's Claims of Ukraine Bioweapons
Source: Bloomberg
(Bloomberg) -- Ukraine isnt developing biological or nuclear weapons, and Russias claims that its doing so is probably a false narrative pushed to cover up moves it may make in its war on its neighbor, U.S. spy chief Avril Haines told senators on Thursday.
We do not assess that Ukraine is pursuing either biological weapons or nuclear weapons, Haines, the director of national intelligence, told the Senate Intelligence Committee during an annual hearing on global threats.
Claims by Russian officials that Ukraine is pursuing or using biological, chemical or nuclear weapons is a classic move to spin false flag narratives for dangerous moves that may be taken by President Vladimir Putin, Haines said. Ukraine -- like many countries -- does have bio research labs, but those are to defend against pandemics or attacks and are different from bioweapons labs, Haines and other officials said.
Efforts by the United States and allied countries to quickly counter Russias claims has had a great deal of effect in disrupting Putins tactics and intentions, Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns testified during the hearing.

(1,452 posts)Read Ken Alibekov's book, "BIOHAZARD: The Chilling True Story of the Largest Covert Biological Weapons Program in The World - Told From Inside By The Man Who Ran It" (1999). Anthrax, Smallpox, Tularemia, Lassa, Machupo, Marburg, Encephalitis, Ebola. They even tried to re-engineer AIDS to use as a biological weapon.
After most of the world signed a treaty in 1972 to stop production of such weapons - and Russia signed it too - but they never honored their signature. Many of these weapons are STILL in stockpile in Russia.
