That's why I was delighted to see Novaya Gazeta's lengthy but detailed interview with Yevgeny Kunin, a Moscow-born biologist, adjunct professor at Boston and Haifa Universities, senior researcher at the US National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and a renowned expert in evolutionary biology. Novaya Gazeta may be in the same boat as I am: they alone have managed to find the most serious expert on the subject. I am giving extracts from the interview, because it is very long, about 18 typed pages, but the link is up there: if you want to read the original, it is worth it, because Kunin does not put a padlock on his mouth, sometimes swearing like drill sergeant. So then what does he say about this accusation, which comes from the Russian Ministry of Defence, and which also states that 'dangerous strains of bacteria were destroyed by the laboratories'?

- There is also a theory that the biological weapons being made in Ukraine were designed to selectively target certain ethnic groups, and that Slavs were chosen for this purpose.
- I cannot even say that your questions make me angry. It is just that paranoia must have its limits. And the idea of making genetic weapons goes beyond that.
There is no genetic trait, no mutation at all, that can clearly and unambiguously distinguish between the Russian and the European populations. It simply does not exist! Of course, the genetic differences are not fully understood, but not that badly. There are simply no fixed alleles that distinguish one population from another. None at all!
There are differences in the frequency of certain alleles. For example, there may be more redheads in Russia than in Ukraine. But there is nothing that is unique to Russia - and that is not unique to Europe or America. The very idea of creating medicines, drugs that would target only a certain population with a certain allele is beyond the possibilities of science and technology. Not only is it impossible to create it in the laboratory, but it is not even possible to devise a sensible algorithm for how it should be done. It is nonsense with no basis in fact.
I can only say that it has nothing to do with science. You know, of course I have a low opinion of the expertise of those who make these theories about 'Ukrainian biological weapons'. But I still don't think they are idiots to the extent of talking seriously about it. They are deliberately misinformed because they are aware of the nonsense of their own words. My opinion is that these people are conscious manipulators. Although there is a possibility that there are some among them who need treatment.
So far the interview, please: pretty much answers all the questions, even shreds the slander into tiny shreds. There is no such thing as an ethnospecific, epidemic-causing US biological weapon developed in Ukraine. If only because they cannot exist, they would contradict all scientific knowledge.

«Говорить о генетическом оружии может только параноик». Биолог – о находках Минобороны РФ в Украине — Новая газета
Министерство обороны РФ сообщило, что в ходе «спецоперации» в Украине «стали известны «подробности проекта UP-4, который реализовывался с участием лабораторий Киева, Харькова и Одессы… под непосредственным руководством специалистов из США». Целями проекта были «изучение распространения особо...

U.S. Commission Urges Biden to Designate Ukraine, Georgia as Major Non-NATO Allies
The move would facilitate military and economic support for Kyiv as it battles a brutal Russian offensive.

No BMPT yet, no. No BMOT either.
It is probably for the better so far and hopefully it will stay this way.
Just like the TOS; though we have seen them in Ukraine, I haven't seen any in action or reportedly in action.

Yep
But if lost, it would be "independant foreign volunteers, never seen never registered in my Army" dudes
The fall of Moscow
With sanctions choking their economy, Russians are girding themselves for the dark times ahead.

They don't exist.
Russia may try to seize them. (therefore they exist)
They don't exist but Russia may try to cook a bio-weapon on the fly after seizing biomedical labs.
Why would Russia bother creating one in Ukraine though. Like many other countries Russia has bio-weapon labs, they already have potent vectors.
And though the "Chernobyl turned into a dirty bomb" scenario was pretty retarded to begin with, the "bio-weapons" one is even more so.
Anyway, that was a conspiracy last week.

Street battles hit a Kyiv suburb, some of the closest fighting to the capital yet
Some residents fleeing their homes Saturday were crying as they lugged plastic bags of belongings over the concrete debris of a bridge that had been destroyed.

Meanwhile Biden is swallowing the pieces thinking they are cough-drops.
