A Moscow microbiologist has accused the Kremlin of 'pure lies' and 'propaganda' in claiming Ukraine had secret US-funded biowarfare labs which they claim could attack Russia...
But Moscow State University microbiologist Dr Yevgeny Levitin analysed the documentation allegedly seized by the invasion force - and strongly criticised the Russian claims.
From a scientific perspective, he says the claims are 'absurd fakes' and 'a deliberate lie, which is not justified in any way'.
In a sign of rising dissent in Moscow over the war, he went public with his critique and wrote an open letter with other unnamed graduates of his top university to major state and other pro-Kremlin media outlets in Russia...
'They published pure lies. This is a deliberate lie, which is not justified in any way,' he said of the bio-weapons.
'This will become obvious to any person who takes the trouble to simply carefully read the documents attached to the allegation of the creation of biological weapons in Ukraine.'
He suggested other Russian scientists were scared to speak out on the propaganda, but agreed with him...
The paperwork attatched to the Russian allegations show laboratories existed in Poltava and Kharkiv, but they were not involved in bio-warfare, contrary to the claims of Konashenkov, Russia's frontman on the war, Dr Levitin said.
The pathogens under research were not potential bio-weapons.
'They are used in any epidemiological institute, in any microbiological laboratory, even in any sanitary and epidemiological station where samples are sown,' he said...
But Dr Levitin said it was normal to get rid of strains every six months but none of these were dangerous.
He explained that it was not sinister, but a matter of international medical research that some labs in Ukraine would be funded by the US.

What you call buffoonery, some call timed to the mass mail in ballot and rigged election in the United States
Your mileage may vary though
Daily Mail. Sure whatever.
There is one reason these globalist bots are infesting the forum here, it’s the same reason they used ‘Russia collusion’ against Donald Trump. They presume Free Republic and conservatives in general, are a gaggle of ignorant hay seeds who are stuck in a cold war mindset of hatred for all things Russian. They assume we all automatically impute to Putin all the negatives we would have in a former time imputed to Stalin or Hitler.
They think we missed the coup that Obama and his allies launched against Ukraine AFTER they had held a nationwide election.
They rely on American ignorance about Russia and her peoples to instill hatred based on cartoon imagery pumped out by globalist media.... I’m not a brilliant man but Russia is a subject I know something about and it amazes me the sheer ignorance of most Westerners on this subject. How many people do you think could coherently explain Putin’s world view and motivations? Almost none, and the man hasn’t been hiding his views at all.
This isn’t to say that I agree with Putin’s actions vs.Ukraine, I emphatically don’t, but I’m not inclined to wallow in the ignorance and hate being espoused by the ‘usual suspects’ who have contributed their non-de plumes to the first replies on this post.
What I want Putin to find is the books that show biden has been paid off.
“But you confused individual, that would mean RUSSIA is responsible for the biolabs.”
I might believe that if we didn’t admit funding them.
If that word salad represented some kind of logical train of thought to you, you need to seek help immediately.
Daily Mail has turned into the Daily Propaganda. It’s embarrassing.
Nuland: Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of. So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces, should they approach.
Why then?
Good points.
I don’t wish to see Putin Control Ukraine. I don’t want Ukraine controlled by the deep state either. As it is now.
Ukraine should be controlled by Ukrainian Nationalists(Of good character) who are only interested in what is best for Ukraine.
But you just said they were one country and the RUSSIAN scientist must have been involved.
I see there are the good Russians like the mass murderer Putin.
And bad Russians like the Russian scientist who risked his life contradicting Putin.
And the bad Russians (not Putin) actually have more power to do stuff because Klaus Schwab controls Russia more than Putin.
But the good Russians are fighting to destroy the biolabs run by the bad Russians.
So whenever anyone tells us Putin is a liar, even a Russian scientist, that scientist is part of the globalist conspiracy.
It’s good to have these rules so we know never to believe anyone who contradicts Putin, cause they’re “in on it”. Is that about the size of it?
Or maybe Putin is an obvious Fing liar and you don’t know what in heck you’re talking about because the war isn’t about biolabs.
Don’t get upset have another beer.
“Or maybe Putin is an obvious Fing liar and you don’t know what in heck you’re talking about because the war isn’t about biolabs.”
I don’t think I ever said the war was about the biolabs, as that issue came up AFTER the invasion.
I’ve been saying from the start that the war is about EXACTLY what Putin has always said - Ukraine posing a threat to Russia, as perceived by Russia, not by the the Putin-haters in the West - he could care less what Biden or anyone in Europe claims.
No you’re right Russia is the new shining city on a hill.
What’s your real game,Ilyan?
Ukraine posed zero threat to Russia.
Putin posed quite a threat to Ukraine.
That’s why Ukrainians are dying because Russians are killing them.
Propaganda makes your brain fuzzy.
I would bet that this Russian scientist has been extracted from Russia by OUR intel community and he is safe and sound spewing our propaganda the leaders in this country are just as bad as Putin don’t kid yourself WAKE THE HELL UP!! Look at what OUR government has done to completely innocent protesters and NOW a gold star mom, General Flynn, Trump, and on and on!! Say what you want about Putin HOWEVER the propaganda from our government and what is being done to OUR citizens is no better!! WHY in the hell is protecting Ukraines borders so much MORE important than protecting our own border, WHAT THE HELL are they trying to hide!! WE HAVE bio labs in Ukraine BET ON IT!!
I think it’s more likely opportunists taking advantage of a screw up than a planned conspiracy.
Why would you bet on any such thing? Are you nuts?
“Ukraine posed zero threat to Russia.”
Your opinion, and Putin doesn’t care about your opinion (or mine, for that matter).
