It makes more sense to me that Ukraine was a strategic holding as a jumping off point to attack Russia. The bio-labs were not set up so the Kharzarian mafia would be wiped out. They were focusing on wiping out their greatest enemy alongside the USA, which is Russia.
The fact that they genocided many of the Ukrainian people was just a bonus them in case they actually succeeded in wiping out Russia then they may have planned a return.
