Another Kremlin Lie - US biolabs in Ukraine

Another Kremlin Lie - US biolabs in Ukraine

Author: Mark McNamee February 12, 2026 Duration: 23:33
We delved into yet another Kremlin lie, this one a recurring theme literally for the past 60 years going back to the Soviet era - US biolabs around the word out to attack Russia. To reveal this lie, I spoke with Dr. Dmytro Stepanskyi, the head of Microbiology at the Dnipro State University. In short, this is an interesting propaganda tool by the Kremlin because they are directly accusing the US of what the Kremlin does - possesses covert biolabs which have been used to kill individuals outside of Russia.
