40 US biolabs operate in Ukraine: another Russian fake spread online

Pro-Kremlin media outlets spread fabricated information that there are allegedly about 40 American biolabs in Ukraine

The Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security reports.

"Biological laboratories study the properties of pathogens capable of causing pandemics. There are a total of 330 of them worldwide," - such information with reference to the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu is being spread by pro-Kremlin media.

In reality, claims about the alleged presence of American biological laboratories in Ukraine are a continuation of Putin's lies aimed at justifying Russian aggression against Ukraine.

At the same time, Russian propagandists provide no official evidence of the operation of these so-called American biological laboratories on the territory of Ukraine.
