Original Note:
The claim that the US has funded research which could be used in biological warfare is true: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2023/virus-research-risk-outbreak/ Multiple research facilities inside of Ukraine are supported by the US. However, no evidence suggests that those labs were working on biological weapons: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/11/russia-biological-weapon-claim-us-un-ukraine-bio-labs-explainer https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/exclusive-who-says-it-advised-ukraine-destroy-pathogens-health-labs-prevent-2022-03-11/ https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/russia-china-and-tucker-carlson-lack-evidence-on-ukraine-bioweapons-labs/
