And Now… “Putin Could Unleash Deadly Virus from Seized Ukraine Lab – And Then Blame the U.S.”
March 12th, 2022Via: Sun:
RUSSIA could unleash a bioweapon on Ukraine more lethal than Covid from a Ukrainian lab, the former head of the British Army’s chemical weapons unit has warned.
Fears are growing Vladimir Putin could unleash a deadly plague as scientists in Ukraine have been told to destroy all “high-threat” lab diseases.
Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, former chief of the British Army’s chemical weapons unit, told The Sun Online there is a possibility Russian troops could storm a lab and use it as a base to unleash a bioweapon.
And he also warned that the “indiscriminate” bombing by Putin’s troops could spark chaos at one of the labs.
It came as the World Health Organisation said the most deadly pathogens in Ukraine’s labs should be wiped out as Russia’s relentless bombing has raised the risk of “potential spills”.
The invading Russian forces have already proved to be reckless enough to fire shells at Chernobyl, Europe’s largest nuclear-power plant, and fire missiles at a radioactive-waste facility near Kyiv.
And biowarfare experts have become increasingly concerned about the security of Ukraine’s labs as the Russian troops advance.
Fears are also growing as Kyiv claimed Russian soldiers have been issued with gas masks – suggesting an imminent chemical or biological attack.
Yesterday, listening to the radio driving home, news came on and said that the conspiracy theory that the US had bio labs in Ukraine was misinformation. The day before yesterday I saw a clip of Victoria Newland confirming under oath that they exist. Propaganda malfunction? Information-chain breakdowns? Maybe just accelerating chaos. The wheels are coming off.
