The World Health Organization has urged Ukraine to destroy disease-causing pathogens in its public health labs to avoid “potential spills” amid the Russian invasion.
The agency would not say when it had made the recommendation and did not provide specifics about what kinds of pathogens or toxins are housed in Ukraine’s labs. It also did not answer questions about whether its recommendations were followed.
On Wednesday, a Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman repeated the claim that the US operates a biowarfare lab in Ukraine, an accusation that has been repeatedly denied by Washington and Kyiv. Ukrainian presidential spokesperson said in response that Kyiv “strictly denies any such allegation.”
