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.

That is one of the reasons why I would like to draw Russia towards Western countries instead of taking actions against Russia that are undeniably having the effect of pushing Russia into greater dependence on China.
China will use that dependence to pursue its goals including expanding into what is now Russian land.
Nuland and Rubio want to keep control of the next round of horrifyingly destructive bioweapons.
“Oh please. This research is done in EVERY nation in the world and has zero to do with the invasion.”
Not sure it’s the reason for the invasion, but they made a B-line to capture the labs and factories in question.
Not only that, she looked like she was confessing to a murder when she revealed that information. Her body language, demeanor, facial expressions, fidgeting and speaking like she was walking through an information mine field, almost pausing before each carefully chosen word.
We had Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and now Biden to secure
ties to Russia, but the only guy who wanted to couldn’t,
because he was being prosecuted and impeached for supposedly
consorting with Putin.
Hillary Clinton couldn’t have done more damage to this nation
as it relates to Russia. That fat fainting toad, had no
business whatsoever doing what she did. She truly
deserves to be behind bars, without a microphone or
message conveyed to the public ever again.
We should have been holding summits with him. Tossing him
a bone every so often. Let him look like one of the good
guys.
We had people here saying, “Why would we ever want to give
him power?” The idea was, not to give him power. It was
go give him a way to save face for himself and Russia.
Well, here we are.
If you want to look at what the Third Way folks did, we’re
looking at it in what happened to Trump.
They nearly got their WWIII, and I’m not convinced they
won’t shortly.
Russia could give nukes to Iran shortly. China could
follow suit with North Korea. That’s what is going to
happen in time, even by just simply letting them develop
them on their own.
Then what Putin lovers?
Putin and Biden are putting this deal together as I type.
Hard to understand how you cannot see the danger of these labs - not just to Ukraine or Russia but other peoples countries if these are not secured.
Biological deadly pathogens aren’t just ‘anything’ .....and people concerned about these are not idiots.
Secured? They were secure,Russia is blowing up the whole country.
You think the 40 mile convoy is to secure these labs?
Insanity.
Why do we have bio-weapon labs performing gain-of-function research (why is this a thing?) on pathogens to make them more virulent instead of bio-research labs that study pathogens to find treatments, cures, vaccines, and other preventative measures?
People using “pathogens” in laboratories to justify a Russian invasion, are out of their minds.
Russia will need to invade every country in Europe, Asia and here.
Bunch of ninnies running around yelling about “pathogens”. Every lab and hospital in the world deals with pathogens every day.
Here is a definition:
A pathogen is defined as an organism causing disease to its host, with the severity of the disease symptoms referred to as virulence. Pathogens are taxonomically widely diverse and comprise viruses and bacteria as well as unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes.
IOW everything from the flu to toenail fungus to a tooth abcess is caused by “pathogens”.
Labs are designed to deal with pathogens. Marauding armies are not.
Health labs. It sounds so healing and helpful...Until they tell you they're full of deadly contagious diseases. Just what you want in one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.
Again your understanding of what Biological pathogens and that of bilogical warefare appear to be lacking. Making light of this doesn’t help your understanding.
Good morning, George Soros.

What a retarded thing to say, baby Hillary.
