The Russian invasion of Ukraine may put at risk a network of US-linked labs in Ukraine that work with dangerous pathogens, said Robert Pope, the director of the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program,a 30-year-old Defense Department program that has helped secure the former Soviet Union’s weapons of mass destruction and redirect former bioweapons facilitiesand scientists toward peaceful endeavors.
The labs in Ukraine are not bioweapons facilities.
While the United States isn’t maintaining bioweapons facilities, Pope said, war could put pathogen collections in Ukraine at risk.
Wow that is doublespeak in spades for sure.

Again
First thing you do when conducting military invasions is always....
...go hit the peaceful, loving, non-military, totally non-bioweapon labs?
