Original Note:
The claim that Ukraine is developing bioweapons is false. Reporting mechanisms for investigating possible bioweapons in Ukraine are not used by Russia despite a treaty existing between them, Russia has been accusing former Soviet states since 1949 of housing bioweapons. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/11/us/politics/us-bioweapons-ukraine-misinformation.html https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/bwc https://cissm.umd.edu/research-impact/publications/false-allegations-biological-weapons-use-putins-russia
