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.

And yet Russia has them too.
I still ask when Russia plans on destroying it’s BioLabs.
China is the only one so far to actually have an accident,
and literally nobody asks them to shut theirs down.
Bad people do bad things.
How silly are you? Disgusting useful idiot for our enemies.
You apply the label “propaganda” to something accurately labeled “fact”.
We all know these labs were 100% like totally for the good of the ‘world’
At least that is what I believe
Because we’re their enemies, of course.
I can think of no good reason whatsoever that the USA would benefit from biological warfare.
And neither can our Government, which is why they do it offshore.
You seem to despise a lot of people.
Ok. And the vax is safe and effective.
“How silly are you? Disgusting useful idiot for our enemies.”
I’m not the one here parroting the WEF, Soros, and the DNC.
>>Bad people do bad things.<<
May I amend? This is EVIL.
Are you ok, FRiend?
“And yet Russia has them too.”
Yep, and they’re going to make sure that their hostile neighbor doesn’t have the same...whether we like it or not.
These are very small amounts.
I suspect the real numbers are an order of magnitude higher.
This is insane.
true, also this wasn’t an exhaustive list of ALL the labs.
BobL, the Ukraine did not invade Russia.
They are not hostile. They are defensive. They haven’t
carried out any operations on Russia soil that we know of.
i.e. get rid of the evidence.
>>Certainly a factor in Russia going in.<<
I mean seriously. This whole Ukraine good, Putin bad narrative seems to be a deep state contrived flag.
Somethings not right here.
I’ve always believed that Ukraine NATO thing just provoked the hell outta Russia. How would we feel if Russia led Messy-co into an alliance and placed troops/hardware/weapons along our Southern border?
Yea..right...we would attack and remove the threat just as we did when Russians tried the missile thing in Cuba.
This stinks.
They presented a threat, and Russia responded just as we would have responded if the Soviet Union hadn’t backed down in 1963 over Cuba. Really no difference.
“Yea..right...we would attack and remove the threat just as we did when Russians tried the missile thing in Cuba.”
EXACTLY - If the Soviets hadn’t backed down over Cuba, we would have invaded Cuba. Would the people arguing that Ukraine was just minding its own business and got invaded by big bad Russia have said the same regarding Cuba in 1963, and blamed us for the ‘aggression’?
