On Sunday, the Former Congresswoman from Hawai Tulsi Gabbard claimed the existence of more than 25 US-sponsored Biolabs in functioning in Ukraine. Soon after her video went viral, US senator from the state of Utah, Mitt Romney lashed out at Tulsi alleging that she was parroting Russian propaganda. “Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives,” he wrote on Twitter.

Tulsi in her video stated that according to the data by the US government, Biolabs are conducting research on dangerous pathogens. “Ukraine is an active war zone with the widespread bombing, artillery and shelling and these facilities, even in the best of circumstances, could easily be compromised and release these deadly pathogens,” she added.

In another instance, the fact sheet released by The Department of Defense’s (DoD) Cooperative Threat Reduction Program which talked about the activities under the Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP) in Ukraine contains statements directly or indirectly confirming the existence of Biolabs in Ukraine. The fact sheet documents that The United States, through BTRP has invested approximately $200 million in Ukraine since 2005 while supporting 46 Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and diagnostic sites.
