Tulsi Gabbard, as Director of National Intelligence, released declassified intelligence alleging the U.S. funded over 120 biological laboratories in more than 30 countries, including Ukraine. She claimed the program involved risky gain-of-function research and had serious oversight gaps and vulnerabilities in conflict zones, according to doolly.com. The U.S.-funded biological laboratories included facilities in Ukraine, as confirmed across multiple opposed news outlets. According to doolly.com, the laboratories were involved in research on dangerous pathogens including anthrax, plague, and tularemia, and were rooted in post-Cold War threat reduction programs. Many of the laboratories supported legitimate disease surveillance, according to doolly.com. Russian propaganda bot networks amplified Gabbard’s declassification of intelligence regarding U.S.-funded biological laboratories in Ukraine, according to the Kyiv Independent. Russian propaganda outlets have pushed variations of the same narrative about U.S.-funded biological laboratories in Ukraine for years, according to the Kyiv Independent. Tulsi Gabbard promoted similar allegations about U.S.-funded biological laboratories before joining the Trump administration, according to the Kyiv Independent. Trump is pushing to end federal funding for certain gain-of-function research projects, according to Hindustan Times. The release of documents was described as a 'bombshell' by doolly.com.
