Journalist Annelies Strikkers points out that these biolabs would not have existed before. "I'm starting to get the sense that there is some truth in what the Russian government had to say about the biolabs and that a desperate attempt is now being made to clean the alley by the EU, WHO and US," said Strikers.
Then on September 20, 2015, Russia’s ambassador to Venezuela Vladimir Zayemsky claimed that the Soviet Union did not invade Poland on Sept 17, 1939 and that it was in fact Poland, not the USSR, that collaborated with Nazi Germany. He wrote that “the alleged invasion by Soviet forces of Poland in 1939 is a lie” and went on to claim that although Poland was the first victim of WWII, it tried to be “Hitler’s faithful ally” in the period before the War. “It was Warsaw’s pro-fascist stand which made a treaty of cooperation between the USSR, Czechoslovakia and France impossible”, he alleged. The same offensive attempts to rewrite history were presented by Russia’s ambassador to Poland Sergey Andreyev a few days later, speaking on Polish television.

Threat Reduction Program Extends Reach to Ukrainian Biological Facilities
www.armscontrol.org...
U.S. cooperation with Ukraine under the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program was expanded Aug. 29 with an agreement to use U.S. CTR funds to improve security for pathogens stored at biological research and health facilities in the former Soviet republic.
Under the agreement, CTR funds will for the first time flow directly to projects aimed at securing pathogen strains and sensitive biological knowledge within Ukraine. The United States also will work to improve Ukrainian capabilities to detect, diagnose, and treat outbreaks of infectious diseases, as well as determine whether outbreaks are natural or the result of bioterrorism.
Here's What You Need to Remember: Just a year after signing on to the 1972 bioweapons ban, the Soviet Union had actually expanded its bioweapons production via a massive new civilian program, known as Biopreparat, that employed fifty thousand personnel scattered across fifty-two separate facilities.
In October 1979, a West German newspaper run by Soviet émigrés ran a vague story alleging that an explosion in a military factory in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) had released deadly bacteria, killing as many as a thousand. The story swiftly drew attention from other Western newspapers and eventually the U.S. government, because if Soviet factories were producing biological weapons, they were doing so in contravention of the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention.

Both sides are liars and both sides are not trustworthy. Since this is the whole truth, we should be talking about how to get trustworthy people into our governments instead of supporting one evil against another.
Again... it's not the fact about known and unknown.
It's how the US government and pentagon chose to adress it.
They should have just flat out acknowledge the existance and funding of these labs, and move straight to say "but they are for goodie things... not baddie things".
Instead they chose to completely deny,

He could not say why it was being terminated, because it would have been a national security violation.

But but, there are no biolabs in the Ukraine. People who still think these labs don't exist are delusional. Glad they are cleaning up their mess.

I'm glad these lab created pathogens are being destroyed, eventually there would have been a lab leak which would have killed many Ukrainians so I think these things should be incinerated. Sadly, they will just build new labs elsewhere. Remember, technically these labs did not exist.....so how many other labs that technically do not exist are out there creating things that can cause problems with life on earth in other locations.
