The director of US National Intelligence (DNI) has released evidence that her office says shows "longstanding" United States government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries where research on biological pathogens, some dangerous, is conducted."These biolabs include labs in Ukraine, which may be at risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war," the DNI's office said in a statement on June 12."For example, the Intelligence Community previously warned that a US-funded biolab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable to longstanding threats of Russian attack, seizure, or damage," it added. The unusual move by Tulsi Gabbard came just days before her departure as DNI, who runs an intergovernmental office set up to coordinate information sharing among the sprawling US intelligence community. It wasn't immediately clear why Gabbard was releasing the information. Nor was it clear that it contained anything new or revelatory.For years, under something called the Cooperative Threat Reduction program, the US government has funded efforts to safeguard Cold War-research programs -- mainly rooted in Soviet programs that developed biological, chemical warfare technologies.Some of the holdover Soviet facilities were located in Kyiv, in Tbilisi, and other places around the former Soviet Union.
