Original Note:
The "bioweapons in Ukraine" story has been debunked many times by many sources. It originated from a QAnon-linked channel and spread to right wing channels. It is also a frequent topic used by Russia in its propaganda operation to sow disinformation. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/mar/18/ukrainian-bioweapons-labs-qanon-fox-news https://www.npr.org/2022/03/25/1087910880/biological-weapons-far-right-russia-ukraine https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/60711705 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/11/how-right-embraced-russian-disinformation-about-us-bioweapons-labs-ukraine/
