This month, two US military biolaboratories were planned to be launched in Ukraine - in Kyiv and Odessa.
The Russian special operation just coincided with the planned launch. This drew the attention of the publication "Octagon".
In the construction contract documents studied by the publication, the commissioning date is indicated: the end of February 2022.
President Putin has repeatedly pointed out the danger of the development of biological weapons by the Americans near the borders of the Russian Federation.
The main part of the Ukrainian collection of endemic strains of pathogens of dangerous diseases is stored in Odessa, the newspaper writes. The founder of the project is considered to be the former head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, Uliana Suprun. She is a US citizen.

The special military operation continues.
Groupings of troops of the DPR and LPR, with the fire support of the Russian Armed Forces, expanded the breakthrough areas in the enemyβs defenses in a day and continue to develop the success of the offensive.
The grouping of troops of the Lugansk People's Republic advanced to a depth of 30 kilometers and captured the settlements of Bakhmutovka and Grechishkino.
Formations and military units of the Donetsk People's Republic, advancing in the direction of Novomaiskoye, advanced another 6 kilometers.
The nationalist battalions, retreating, blow up electrical substations and bridges across the rivers behind them.
The units of the Russian armed forces have established full control over the city of Melitopol. The Russian servicemen are taking all measures to ensure the safety of civilians and exclude provocations from the Ukrainian special services and nationalists.
During the night, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a strike with long-range precision weapons using air- and sea-launched cruise missiles against Ukrainian military infrastructure facilities.
I emphasize once again that the fire is conducted only on the objects of the military infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, excluding damage to residential and social infrastructure.
In total, the Russian Armed Forces hit 821 objects of the military infrastructure of Ukraine.
Among them: 14 military airfields, 19 command posts and communication centers, 24 S-300 and Osa anti-aircraft missile systems, 48 ββradar stations.
Shot down: 7 combat aircraft, 7 helicopters, 9 unmanned aerial vehicles.
87 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 28 multiple rocket launchers, 118 units of special military vehicles were destroyed.
The forces of the Russian Navy destroyed 8 military boats of the Ukrainian naval forces.
Russian operation in the Ukraine β end of day 2
Written by The Saker
https://thesaker.is/russian-operation-in-the-ukraine-end-of-day-2/
Today was only day two of the Russian military operation. And yet, what a day it was!!!
First, a quick update on the progress of Russian forces. Here is a bulletpoint summary for today:
- Kherson: liberated
- Nikolaev: fighting taking pace in outskirts
- Konotop: taken by Russians
- Chernigov: blocked by all sides by Russian forces
- Melitopol: surrounded
- Mariupol: is under attack, street fighting
- Severodonetsk: under attack
- Kharkov: very heavy mopping up operation
- Suma: mopping up operations
- Kiev: blocked from the West and under attack, the authorities are distributing weapons Gostomel airport has been captured by Russian forces
- Zaporozhie: Russian forces expected there tomorrow A land corridor from Crimea to Russia should be opened by tomorrow.
- Odessa: big question mark β so far, not Russian attacks reported (that I know of!)
Now about Donetsk and Lugansk:
- Both cities are still under fire, and that goes to show that the advance of the LDNR forces has been slow, which is hardly surprising considering that the Ukronazis had 7 years to prepare their defenses. Still, things ARE getting better. Not only that, but the LDNR air defenses shot down a Ukie Tochka-U missile aimed at Donetsk. So it sure looks like the long awaited A2/AA βprotective cupolaβ is being extended over the LDNR.
- That being said, the LDNR forces did break through in at least two directions today, which means that the life left for the Ukie artillery shelling the LDNR will soon come to an end.
But that does not really tell the full story. So I will try to clarify things a little.

[The Saker] Russia recognition of the LDNR β a few initial thoughts
Note: The Saker is an American-Russian independent geopolitical analyst who writes excellent and comprehensive analyses of the geopolitical situation around Russia and sometimes on the Orthodox Church. Unfortunately he does not think very well of Trump and thinks Q is nonsensical, but he is nevertheless unaffacted by mainstream views.
