The US Embassy to Tbilisi transports frozen human blood and pathogens as diplomatic cargo for a secret US military program. Internal documents, implicating US diplomats in the transportation of and experimenting on pathogens under diplomatic cover were leaked to me by Georgian insiders. According to these documents, Pentagon scientists have been deployed to the Republic of Georgia and have been given diplomatic immunity to research deadly diseases and biting insects at the Lugar Center – the Pentagon biolaboratory in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi.
This military facility is just one of the many Pentagon biolaboratories in 25 countries across the world. They are funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under a $ 2.1 billion military program – Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP), and are located in former Soviet Union countries such as Georgia and Ukraine, the Middle East, South East Asia and Africa.

Babi Yar or Babyn Yar (Ukrainian: Бабин Яр) is a ravine in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and a site of massacres carried out by Nazi Germany's forces during its campaign against the Soviet Union in World War II. The first and best documented of the massacres took place on 29–30 September 1941, killing approximately 33,771 Jews. The decision to kill all the Jews in Kyiv was made by the military governor Generalmajor Kurt Eberhard, the Police Commander for Army Group South, SS-Obergruppenführer Friedrich Jeckeln, and the Einsatzgruppe C Commander Otto Rasch. Sonderkommando 4a as the sub-unit of Einsatzgruppe C, along with the aid of the SD and Order Police battalions with the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police backed by the Wehrmacht, carried out the orders. Sonderkommando 4a and the 45th Battalion of the German Order Police conducted the shootings. Servicemen of the 303rd Battalion of the German Order Police at this time guarded the outer perimeter of the execution site.
The massacre was the largest mass killing under the auspices of the Nazi regime and its collaborators during its campaign against the Soviet Union,[8] and it has been called "the largest single massacre in the history of the Holocaust" to that particular date. It is only surpassed overall by the later 1941 Odessa massacre of more than 50,000 Jews in October 1941 (committed by German and Romanian troops), and by Aktion Erntefest of November 1943 in occupied Poland with 42,000–43,000 victims.
Victims of other massacres at the site included Soviet prisoners of war, communists, Ukrainian nationalists and Roma. It is estimated that between 100,000 and 150,000 people were killed at Babi Yar during the German occupation.

U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Office Partners with Ukrainian Government to Keep Our Nations Safe
U.S. Embassy Kyiv Aug 17, 2020
Joanna Wintrol, the head of U.S. Embassy Kyiv’s Defense Threat Reduction Office, works closely with Ukrainian partners to counter threats affecting the United States, Ukraine, and other nations. As her assignment at U.S. Embassy Kyiv comes to a close, Joanna shared her thoughts about her experience working in Ukraine.
Many people have heard of the U.S. Department of Defense, but the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency is perhaps less familiar. What does your organization do?
DTRA focuses on countering threats posed by weapons of mass destruction (WMD). We focus on the full range of WMD threats — chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives. The organization also works to counter “improvised threats,” such as improvised explosive devices.
Countering these complicated threats effectively requires teamwork. That’s why DTRA officials like me work overseas at U.S. Embassies — to build strong partnerships with partners and allies to combat these threats and to exchange best practices and innovations in the fight against these threats.
What Ukrainian organizations have you collaborated with during your time here?
I’ve been working in Ukraine for the past five years, and throughout that time my team has been working closely with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Defense, National Police, Security Service of Ukraine, State Border Guard Service, State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences, and others. As you can see from this long list — we work quite closely with the Ukrainian authorities!
As one example, my team has arranged hands-on trainings for the National Police, Security Service of Ukraine and the State Border Guard Service to strengthen our cooperation on the topic of “dual use” items. These are items that have a legitimate purpose, but if they fall into the hands of a bad actor, they could be used to create a dangerous weapon.
Our team also is working with Ukrainian experts — through training, facilities renovations, and provision of supplies — to enhance their capabilities to respond to nuclear incidents, secure information and communication mechanisms, and prevent illegal trafficking of nuclear materials outside of regulatory control.
What have been some of the biggest challenges during your time in Ukraine?
It’s been disappointing to see false allegations in recent months from some media outlets and commentators in Ukraine about our Biological Threat Reduction Program.
This program was created after the collapse of the Soviet Union to assist former Soviet states to secure and eliminate biological weapons and pathogens of concern that were collected and developed by the Soviet Union.
We work with the Ukrainian Government to consolidate and secure dangerous pathogens and toxins that exist in Ukrainian government facilities. And we also fund peaceful research and vaccine development by Ukrainian scientists.
For over a decade, Russia has disseminated false information about this program, aiming to drive a wedge between the United States and Ukraine.
In reality, this is a joint program between our two nations, based in legal agreements. And all of the participating laboratories and institutions are controlled and managed by the Ukrainian government. No U.S. scientists work in these labs.

What’s an accomplishment you’re proud of during your time in Ukraine?
My team mobilized quickly during the COVID-19 pandemic to support to our Ukrainian partners. We provided four mobile laboratories to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense to help respond to the pandemic, and provided experts to help the Public Health Center analyze the rapidly changing situation regarding the virus. We’ve also been glad to see our Ukrainian partners using personal protective equipment provided by DTRA to stay safe while carrying out their duties during the pandemic.
What will you miss about Ukraine?
It’s hard to give a short answer to this question! First of all, I’ll miss the Ukrainian partners with whom I’ve developed friendships and strong professional relationships over the years. Their dedication and professionalism in working to keep Ukraine safe has been inspiring. On a personal note, I’ll miss all the great restaurants, walking around Kyiv looking at the beautiful and eclectic buildings, and relaxing on one of the many city beaches. I’ll even miss the famous Ukraine winters! Although my tour here is coming to a close, I hope to have an opportunity to return to Ukraine soon, and I will never forget my stay here. Every time I look at my adopted Ukrainian street dog I will remember Kyiv and all the great times I have had.

The World Health Organization will provide an update Wednesday on its response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Russian invasion has driven more than a half-million people from Ukraine into neighbouring countries like Poland.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, has called it the worst refugee crisis in Europe since the Balkan wars, with more than 280,000 people crossing into Poland in recent days.
It comes as the world continues to deal with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Russia-Ukraine conflict: UN General Assembly to vote on isolating Russia | LIVE
The United Nations (UN) General Assembly re-convene for a third day on Wednesday for an expected vote on whether to isolate Russia by "deploring its aggression against Ukraine" and demanding Moscow withdraw its troops and stop fighting.
The draft resolution is similar to a text vetoed by Russia in the 15-member Security Council on Friday, but no country has a veto in the General Assembly. Western diplomats expect the resolution, which needs two-thirds support, to be adopted.
General Assembly resolutions are non-binding, but they do carry political weight. On Tuesday, several countries expressed support for the resolution.
Ceasefire talks between Russian and Ukrainian officials began on the Belarusian border on Monday as Russia faces deepening economic isolation.
On Monday, Ukraine’s UN Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya described Putin’s order to put Russian nuclear forces on alert as suicidal.
“If he wants to kill himself he doesn’t have to use a nuclear arsenal, he has to do what the guy in Berlin did in a bunker in 1945,” Kyslytsya told the General Assembly, referencing Adolf Hitler’s suicide.
