Former congresswoman and Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has responded to criticism after being accused of lending credibility to Russian accusations that the U.S. funded biological weapons laboratories in Ukraine. In fact, Gabbard cited evidence that the U.S. funds bio labs in Ukraine, not biological weapons labs.
Claims that the United States is funding Ukrainian laboratories developing biological and chemical weapons have been connected to Russian propaganda outlets. The unsubstantiated allegations are often repeated by Russian government officials.
The U.S. has dismissed accusations of working on bio weapons in Ukraine, but has said it has been working with Ukraine since 2005 to research deadly pathogens as part of the Pentagon's Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP).
