> [WHO Says “High Risk Pathogens in Ukrainian Labs Should Be Destroyed”](https://pennyforyourthoughts2.ca/2022/03/11/who-says-high-risk-pathogens-in-ukrainian-labs-should-be-destroyed/)



**Not that I really think much of the UN, but, Moscow has requested a meeting at this venue**, **so we’ll go where this news takes us.**

[Ukraine acted on its advice WHO says; UNSC to meet at Moscow’s request](https://www.thedailystar.net/health/disease/who/news/biowarfare-lab-row-2980941)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> **The World Health Organization advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens** housed in the country’s public health laboratories to prevent “any potential spills”

**Or destroy any evidence?**

> **The WHO statement came ahead of a UN Security Council emergency meeting on alleged manufacture of biological weapons** in Ukraine at the request of Moscow.
> 
> **Russia on Thursday accused the United States of funding research into the development of biological weapons in Ukraine.**

**Gain of Function Research?**

> **Both Washington and Kyiv have denied the allegations.**

**But Victoria Nuland has confirmed this to be true. As has the WHO.**

> **Biosecurity** experts say Russia’s movement of troops into Ukraine and bombardment of its cities have raised the risk of an **escape of disease-causing pathogens,** should any of those facilities be damaged.
> 
> As part of this work, **WHO has strongly recommended to the Ministry of Health in Ukraine and other responsible bodies to destroy high-threat pathogens to prevent any potential spills.**
> 
> **The WHO would not say when it had made the recommendation** **nor did it provide specifics about the kinds of pathogens or toxins housed in Ukraine’s laboratories**. **The agency also did not answer questions about whether its recommendations were followed.**
> 
> On Wednesday, Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that **documents unearthed by Russian forces in Ukraine showed “an emergency attempt to erase evidence of military biological programmes” by destroying lab samples.**
> 
> The WHO statement made no reference to biowarfare.

**Of course it didn’t**.
