The World Health Organization advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in the country's public health laboratories to prevent "any potential spills" that would spread disease among the population, the agency told Reuters on Thursday.
Biosecurity experts say Russia's movement of troops into Ukraine and bombardment of its cities have raised the risk of an escape of disease-causing pathogens, should any of those facilities be damaged.
Like many other countries, Ukraine has public health laboratories researching how to mitigate the threats of dangerous diseases affecting both animals and humans including, most recently, COVID-19. Its labs have received support from the United States, the European Union and the WHO.
In response to questions from Reuters about its work with Ukraine ahead of and during Russia's invasion, the WHO said in an email that it has collaborated with Ukrainian public health labs for several years to promote security practices that help prevent "accidental or deliberate release of pathogens."
"As part of this work, WHO has strongly recommended to the Ministry of Health in Ukraine and other responsible bodies to destroy high-threat pathogens to prevent any potential spills," the WHO, a United Nations agency, said.

WTF? Why in sam hell are these people playing with these damn pathogens anyhow?
I’ve heard 3 or 4 different lies.
“WTF? Why in sam hell are these people playing with these damn pathogens anyhow?”
Certainly a factor in Russia going in.
Well, well, well. 🤔
In other words fire up the shredder and destroy any and all incriminating evidence.
Wouldn’t want that stuff to get into the wrong hands..
Like the Fauci’s of the world
Oh please. This research is done in EVERY nation in the world and has zero to do with the invasion.
For a country that supposedly has no biological weapons according to our media it seems a lot of other people around the world knew Ukrainian labs were filled with this crap!
Ah it’s you again. I see we are still tolerating you.
“Oh please. This research is done in EVERY nation in the world and has zero to do with the invasion.”
We’ve already been LIED to regarding the reason we were colluding with them, when we were told it was to ‘clean up’ the labs...17 years to clean up? Maybe for nukes, but not biolabs.
Stupid jackasses here read about normal things and buy into wild propaganda theories.
It’s an invasion. Russia wants Ukraine, not some labs.
The US not only knew, the DoD poured millions into it.

Yeah keep saying we’ve been lied to, like you’re saying something.
Keep saying it until you fantasize away the massive Russian invasion.
After all the Russian Foreign Minister said today they did not attack Ukraine! With a 40 mile convoy and massive attacks all around the country.
Think the Russians are liars? Oh thank God they are killing people to get to those awful biolabs.
Idiots.
Knew what? You know exactly nothing.
Oh look a biolab! Ignore those Russian tanks.
Why would I tolerate you? Never heard of you.
“Oh thank God they are killing people to get to those awful biolabs.”
Thanks, I’m glad to see you’ve come around on this.
They weren’t “playing” with anything. They were labs.
They have to develop the world's most deadly pathogen before someone else does. That's their actual logic.
“Health laboratories” is a euphemism for “bioweapons labs”.
