DNI disclosure isn’t talking about one or two facilities. The document confirms a network of over forty labs built and funded under the Pentagon’s Cooperative Threat Reduction program
What was inside? The declassified slide deck explicitly logs the pathogen repository inventory. The list reads like a worst-case pandemic scenario: Anthrax, the Plague, Tularemia, MERS, SARS, and Ebola.

The intelligence community notes that the U.S. government directly funded Ukrainian scientists to perform genomic sequencing on high-consequence viral strains, including highly pathogenic avian influenza.
The IC describes this entire infrastructure as a, quote, “Web of Connections to the U.S. Biological Weapons Defense Industry.” At the center of it all? The primary integrating contractor: American engineering giant Black & Veatch.
The funding breakdown for individual diagnostic facilities is now public. Look at the numbers:
Kherson Diagnostic Lab: $1,728,822 (Partnered with local contractors Techno Project and Macrochem).
Institute of Veterinary Medicine: $2,109,375 (Partnered with Project Technichniy Center and Mediamax).
Zakarpartska Lab: $1,920,432 (Partnered with Ekzotika LTD-Uzhgorod).
Central Reference Laboratory (Odessa): $3,492,551 (The most heavily funded site in this batch, officially permitted by the Ministry of Health back in 2010).
While the U.S. maintains these programs were strictly built to secure Soviet-era legacy pathogens and enhance public health diagnostics… the declassified file concludes by noting active Russian allegations targeting a specific basement laboratory.
The issue of Ukrainian biolabs has been at the center of information warfare since the beginning of Russia’s invasion in 2022.
Russia repeatedly accused the United States of operating biological weapons programs in Ukraine. Washington consistently denied those accusations, stating that the facilities were public health and disease surveillance laboratories designed to secure dangerous pathogens left behind after the Soviet Union’s collapse.
