Are their Biological Weapons Labs in Ukraine?

We know for sure that there are biological labs of some sort in Ukraine, because our own government has admitted it in testimony before Congress. We also know for sure that at least some of them used to be biological warfare labs, because they were established as such under the Soviet Union.

Descriptions I've read of what has been going on there make it sound more like Wuhan-style 'gain of function' research on zoologicals, but that's very hard to distinguish from biological warfare research. It strikes me as probable that our government would have inherited and preserved/continued the Soviet research, just as they did with the WWII-era Japanese and German research into plague, nuclear weapons, and rocketry. Also, after the recent pandemic, I'm sure we'd all prefer that such laboratories be treated as extremely dangerous things to mess around with anyway.

Reuters reports that the UN has advised Ukraine to destroy whatever is in those labs on an expedited basis.

    If the UN wants Ukraine to destroy the contents of the labs, those contents probably are worth protecting. After all, the UN is Russia and the PRC.

    Regarding the labs themselves, the stuff I've seen is that they've been converted to biological research into how to anticipate and then counter naturally occurring new disease, artificially8 occurring disease (vis., the Wuhan Virus, and outright biological war diseases.

    Regardless of which set of reports is the more accurate, the labs are well worth protecting--even destroying, if necessary, from the Russian barbarian hordes.
