Former Trump adviser admits to developing bioweapons in Ukraine
Former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone admitted to developing bioweapons in Ukraine. He stated that there are biolaboratories on the territory of Ukraine financed by the United States.
“Ukraine is hardly like what we are told in the media. In fact, the Ukrainians used their land to place double-launch missile units. In fact, there are biolaboratories there that are financed by our tax revenues and are preparing God knows what plague to unleash on the Russian people, ”Stone’s words are reported by RIA Novosti.
Stone believes that the actions of the Russian authorities on the special operation, which is currently being carried out in Ukraine, are defensive, not offensive. In his opinion, the citizens of America do not receive objective information about the events in Ukraine.
Journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva (Bulgaria) has previously stated that the Pentagon is searching for new genetic samples, mainly Russians and Ukrainians. They want to deliver them to one of the US military laboratories and conduct further experiments on the development of biological weapons.
Earlier, State Department spokesman Ned Price said that American experts advised Ukraine on the
security of biological laboratories , but the US authorities never owned or managed them. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has already reported that
laboratories in Ukraine worked with pathogens of dangerous diseases such as plague, dysentery, anthrax. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that they tried to hide this fact. The World Health Organization (WHO) has advised Ukraine to
destroy dangerous pathogens to prevent leakage. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in turn, refutes the facts of the development of bioweapons.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine on February 24. As he explained in an address to citizens, the Russian Federation was forced to defend itself from danger at its borders. Ukraine, according to him, under the supervision of the United States and NATO, was building up its nuclear potential and developing military biological programs.

Trump Ally Roger Stone Sides With Putin, Claims Russia 'Acting Defensively'
While polls show that the majority of Americans—Republicans, independents and Democrats—support the Ukrainians as they fight back against Russia's unprovoked aggression, some on the right have expressed views critical of Ukraine. In a Saturday interview on Real America's Voice, Stone took argued that Putin's actions were defensive.
"Ukraine is not even remotely about what they are telling us about," he said. "Ukraine is about the fact that the Ukrainians have used their soil to place dual-launch missile pads—missiles that would be aimed at the Soviet Union."
"There are, in fact, bio labs there [in Ukraine] that are funded by our tax dollars, cooking up who knows what pestilence to dump on the Russian people," Stone continued. "Putin is acting defensively, he is not acting offensively. But you won't read that in the mainstream media."
After the invasion of Ukraine went
less than smoothly, Putin and other Russian leaders began
promoting claims that Kyiv was working to develop bioweapons at bio-labs in the country. The Ukrainian and U.S. governments have rejected these allegations, explaining that the bio-labs are used for research to prevent and address infectious disease outbreaks.
Some have speculated that they may still contain samples of pathogens used for biological weapons when Ukraine was still part of the Soviet Union. However, experts have said that the labs are not being used to develop weapons and are not capable of doing so. The concern from experts is that the Russians could utilize pathogens in the labs on the Ukrainian population.
"There is no place that still has any of the sort of infrastructure for researching or producing biological weapons," Robert Pope, the director of the
Pentagon's Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, said in a February interview with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. "Scientists being scientists, it wouldn't surprise me if some of these strain collections in some of these laboratories still have pathogen strains that go all the way back to the origins of that program."
Filippa Lentzos, an expert on biological threats at King's College London, wrote in 2018 that her and her colleagues did not see anything "out of the ordinary, or that we wouldn't expect to see in a legitimate facility of this sort" when they toured a Ukrainian bio-lab,
The New York Times reported.
Stone has promoted similar claims about Ukraine and Russia through his Telegram channel as well. "Russian groups are saying they uncovered a plot by Ukrainians to release a biological weapon in the country with
NATO's help," a recent post shared by the right-wing strategist said.
The right-wing strategist floated the Russian claim that Ukraine is developing bioweapons, which the U.S. and Ukrainian government have strongly denied.
