Ukraine operates "about a little over" a dozen Biolabs involved in biodefense and public health for which the American government provided biosafety assistance, US Director of National intelligence Avril Haines said Thursday. 
 
"As I understand, Ukraine operates about a little over a dozen essentially bio labs, and what they are involved in is Ukraine’s biodefense and their public health response, and that’s essentially what they are intended to do," Haines told a Senate hearing.

"I think that the US government assistance or at least has in the past provided assistance really in the context of biosafety which is something that we’ve done globally with a variety of different countries," she claimed.

Earlier, Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical, and biological defense of the Russian Armed Forces, revealed that the US Pentagon-funded bio-laboratories in Ukraine developed, among other things, projects for the spread of biological weapons to Russia via bats.

According to Kirillov, in some projects, "bats are considered as carriers of potential biological weapons," adding that research was being conducted near Russian borders, namely in South Caucasus and the Black Sea coast. 

The Russian diplomat confirmed that the US has "already managed to evacuate most of the documentation" from the laboratories in Kiev, Kharkov, and Odessa.

US provides Ukraine with enormous amount of intelligence

The United States is providing Ukraine with an enormous amount of intelligence amid Russia's ongoing special operation in the country, Haines revealed.

"We are providing enormous amount of intelligence," she said.

Transferring MiG-29 jets to Ukraine could be perceived escalatory

The US diplomat pointed out that Washington believes that the transfer of MiG-29 fighter jets to Kiev could be perceived by Moscow as a "significant escalation."
 
"It is our analysts’ assessment that the transfer of these airplanes could be perceived as a significant escalation by the Russians," Haines noted.
