On Thursday, the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) released new files procured by Russian forces in eastern Ukraine, which include communications between American financier Hunter Biden – the son of US President Joe Biden – and figures engaged in biological research in Ukraine that his investment company aided in financing.

The documents revealed an intent to create a “Central Depository of Especially Dangerous Microorganisms in Kiev,” according to Russian MoD spokesperson Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, as well as ways to distribute biological agents via drone.

The emails disclosed the identities of numerous key American leaders from Metabiota and Black & Veatch, and also officials from the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), who were involved in biological research initiatives. Those named include:

Robert Pope

From 2017 to 2020, Pope served as the DTRA’s deputy director of operations, readiness, and exercises. He formerly worked at the Pentagon, the US Air Force European Command (USAFE), and the US Central Command (USCC). Pope was essential in the creation of radiochemical methods for monitoring international nuclear weapons treaties (Air Force Technical Application Center).

Between 2016 and 2019, Pope corresponded with Ukraine’s acting health minister, Ulana Suprun, an American-born Ukrainian who travelled to Ukraine to take part in the US-backed revolution in 2014.

Rhys M. Williams

Williams, who was formerly the agency’s director of development, test, and evaluation, ended up taking over for Pope as acting DTRA director in 2020. He oversaw the Pentagon’s project to establish capabilities for detecting, locating, and neutralizing foreign weapons of mass destruction and improvised explosive devices. Williams was also Assistant Deputy Administrator for Nonproliferation at the US Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which is in charge of the country’s nuclear arsenal.

Joanna Wintrol

At the Defense Threat Reduction Office of the US Embassy in Kiev, Wintrol oversaw DTRA programs in Ukraine until 2021.

According to emails released by the Ministry of Defense, she oversaw projects such as the UP-2 Project for “mapping highly infectious diseases in Ukraine,” including anthrax; the UP-4 Project for “risk assessment of particularly dangerous pathogens transmitted by birds in Ukraine during migration”; and the UP-8 Project for studying “spread of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus and hantaviruses in Ukraine and the potential need for differential diagnosis of patients with suspected leptospirosis.” She also headed Project P-782, which investigated disease transmission through bats, according to previously disclosed records.

In early 2021, Wintrol switched to Chemical Security and Elimination (CSE). CSE was previously known as the Chemical Weapons Elimination (CWE) and Chemical Weapons Destruction (CWD) programs, according to a DTRA document. The effort “started in 1992 to build the capacity of the states of the Former Soviet Union (FSU) to reduce the threat from chemical weapons (CW) by securing and eliminating CW stockpiles, chemical research capabilities, and production facilities, while also redirecting scientists to peaceful purposes,” the agency said.

Steven L. Edwards

Edwards has been the CEO of Black & Veatch, an American engineering business that has long been a Pentagon contractor for a range of building projects, since 2013. He joined the firm in 1978 and previously served as its Chief Operating Officer.

Black & Veatch has long been known to collaborate on Pentagon initiatives in Ukraine, but records procured by Russian forces earlier this month divulged the company’s role in supervising biological programs in the country, including the UP-8 project, which analyses Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, leptospirosis, and hantaviruses.

Lance Lippencott

Since 2011, he has served as the project manager and biological project coordinator for Black & Veatch in Ukraine. He informed the Kansas City Business Journal in August 2021 that his efforts in Ukraine on airborne biological agents had aided Black & Veatch in developing a system for cleaning air of SARS-CoV-2 virus particles, the pathogen that induces COVID-19. Lippencott is a West Point graduate of the United States Army Military Academy.

A report from Ukraine’s Kherson region’s Security Service was included in one of the papers disclosed by the MoD, and it mentioned “a potential threat to the epidemiological and epizootic situation in our country that has recently come to light as a result of DTRA’s intentions through Black & Veatch to establish control over the functioning of Ukrainian microbiological laboratories that conduct research into particularly dangerous pathogens that can be used to create or upgrade new types of biological weapons.”

Another paper addressed to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense by Lippencott addresses the extension of the UP-8 project previously described.

David Mustra

“Issues of biomonitoring and transfer of information were supervised by David Mustra, who is closely associated with another Pentagon contractor, Metabiota,” Konashenkov said. “Previously, he led military bio-projects in Ukraine and Eastern Europe as part of the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program.”

Mustra was the firm’s biosafety recruitment manager in Ukraine, as well as the biosurveillance and control managers and the research and development director.

Mary Guttieri

Guttieri, who holds a doctorate in microbiology from UMass Amherst, served as Metabiota’s Executive Vice President from 2014 to 2019, and was formerly the company’s Vice President of Technology and Science Administration. At Labyrinth Global Health, she has become the head researcher.

Guttieri was the integrator of research programs for the US biology program in Ukraine, and she oversaw the implementation of biological programs involving the study of animals as disease vectors. 

Nita Madhav

Since 2019, Madhav has led Metabiota as its CEO. With a PhD in Public Health, she focuses in epidemiology and pandemics. The Russian Ministry of Defense, on the other hand, claims that there was no evidence in the records that she was in charge of any particular biological activities in Ukraine.

Scott Thornton

Between 2006 and 2016, Thorton worked for Metabiota as a senior microbiologist and lab start-up coordinator. He served as a research microbiologist and the chief of the Navy’s Threat Assessment Department for the past 20 years in the US Navy. Thornton “conducted research on disease agents of military relevance, especially enteric pathogens” at covert sites, as per his CV, one of which is in Cairo, Egypt.

Thornton advised local workers in DTRA projects in Ukraine on extremely hazardous pathogens and other epidemic disease-related concerns, and organized the update of reference labs in Ukraine to biosafety level 3 (BSL-3), which can be used to research contagious agents or toxins that can be spread via the air and induce potentially deadly infections.

This agency was established to reduce the threat of biological weapons. One of the key initiatives was to give employment to bio agent researchers in the former Soviet Union to diminish the possibility of them continuing this research in Iraq, Iran, North Korea, etc.

Sure.

Hunter Biden's involvement was all aboveboard, right?

[DugwayDuke]

Captain Walker wrote: “Hunter Biden’s involvement was all aboveboard, right?”

This program was established 20 years ago. Hunter had nothing to do with it.

[OKSooner]

Vlad’s Press Secretary, a lady named Maria Zakharova, said something to the effect of “Hey USA, we’ve got all your biological stuff that you had going on in Ukraine.”

Frankly I want to hear her out. I want to hear her out while watching it on TV with Miranda DeVine and Lara Logan.

I better shut up though. This site is monitored.

If these biolabs were in operation in Ukraine 20 years ago, then we should all be marveling at Putin's patience.

Where does this say “Soviet era”?

That was a deflection.

[Candor7]

Ping. You have to read tis, the Deep State has been conductin gain fo function viral experiments world wide, including Ukraine.

Russia has a case.

[Gaffer]

From those names and backgrounds, it looks like the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (and those companies they funded) were in this up to their short hairs...

I guess my question is, “Is it a threat reduction solely because the work was done outside of the United States?”

[Fred Nerks]

you can say that again...

You don’t believe these labs are the reason Putin invaded?

[Candor7]

The Pentagon has denied that the Bio labs were involved in the weaponization of virals to gain of function.

Well as we know Fukxi funded the labs in China. I wonder what a little digging will find on what they were up to in Ukraine? I do not trust these Marxist American Doctors, they really make me cringe. Why all this research controlled by America in a foreignnation, if it was not dangerous they would do it at home?

[Captain Walker]

You don’t believe these labs are the reason Putin invaded?

I have no idea why Putin invaded.

Unfortunately, I live in the United States, which means that I live in a country where the government lies to its people as a matter of course, and people who call themselves journalists promote my government's lies; I don't know if I will ever know why Putin invaded Ukraine.

But if the United States government was running bio labs in Ukraine that were active when Ukraine was invaded, the presence of these active bio labs is enough of a threat to Russia to provide Putin with sufficient moral cause to launch the Russian invasion into Ukraine.

“ Imagine the irony if Putin ends up revealing to the American people something our own corrupt government and media won’t...”

Ok. I’ll bite…….like what?

Before you answer, if you are going to answer………….

For the 583rd time:

Every 1st World Nation has Bio Labs.

Those Labs have very nasty awful things in them.

Bio Labs are used for lots of various research.

Cures for diseases, pathogens and virus of different kind.

Many Bio Labs work on weaponizing pathogens.

Good loving trusting Countries work on weapons and evil bad countries work on weapons.

The good loyal to Merica countries work on bio weapons because the EVIL COUNTRIES WORK ON BIO WEAPONS.

The Bio Labs in Ukraine are no different than the bio labs in Sweden, or Brazil, or Canada, or Finland.

Many Bio Labs in different nations contract with the U.S. for specific research or a wide range of researching.

Why does the U.S. contract out?

For the same reason you don’t want a bio lab working on Ebola in your neighborhood.

Congress passed a Law that Outlaws certain pathogen research and certain viruses.
For example, 2 well known viruses that are Not allowed to be researched here are Ebola and SARS type viruses.

So the U.S. contracts with other Labs where such research is allowed.

This research and development MUST take place. We need to be able to combat an outbreak or attack.

Because if you think China, North Korea, Iran and Russia aren’t working on the worse of the worse, than your not in reality.

[Captain Walker]

Why does the U.S. contract out?

For the same reason you don’t want a bio lab working on Ebola in your neighborhood.

Being that we've established that a bio lab can provide enough of a threat to a population, let's keep that thought in mind as we put ourselves in the shoes of a Russian who sees that the Americans are conducting work in bio labs in the country next door. As we understand this work to be considered too dangerous for America, we understand that it is too dangerous for Russia as well.

We both understand that if the Russians were paying for bio lab research to be done up in Québec, and if the Russians had previously played a role in the coup of Québec's democratically-elected leader, you and I both know that the American military would be moving into Québec to shut the operations down.

[David Chase]

Once again we find ourselves trying to talk Conspiracy Theorist down from the ledge.

When this whole Ukraine Bio Lab hysteria first began, literally in hours I tried to track it down.

I could not. It spread and got injected into the Conspiracy Loons faster than Heroin in a Junkie Rehab Center.

Why isn’t real life good enough for these people I’ll never know.

Perhaps if they peel themselves away from the internet their lives would improve.

No more paranoia.
Fear.
Hysteria.
Aghast.

Or, there is the possibility they enjoy living like that.
That could be.

[David Chase]

F’ the Russians.

You are naive if you think they not working terrible powerful bio weapons.

Oh poor Russia. They’re so righteous.

Your sympathy is duly noted.

The Russians are there to save children from child trafficking and abuse.

While Cruise Missiles rained down on woman with their children.
(Ukrainians don’t have Cruise Missiles.)

Russian artillery wiped out an entire city. Killing civilians.
Because that what Hero Rescuers do I guess.

Russia invaded because the Ukrainian Government is corrupt.
So our Government is corrupt perhaps the Russians should bomb your home town next?

Russia hates Nazis and there are few thousand Nazis in Ukraine.
We have Neo Nazis and Ku Klux Klan………
Even more than Ukraine does……..what are you doing about that?

Anyone siding with Russia in this conflict has more than a few screws loose.
