Psaki Warns of Russian “False Flag Operation” Using Chemical or Biological Weapons
Press Secretary Jen Psaki falsely claimed that US-installed biolabs in Ukraine are a “conspiracy theory,” despite an admission from a State Department official confirming their existence on Tuesday.
“We took note of Russia’s false claims about alleged U.S. biological weapons labs and chemical weapons development in Ukraine. We’ve also seen Chinese officials echo these conspiracy theories,” Psaki tweeted Wednesday.

Psaki follows her initial tweet with a lengthy diatribe, gaslighting the American people of “Russian disinformation” in Ukraine and other countries.
The United States is in full compliance with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention and does not develop or possess such weapons anywhere.

It’s Russia that continues to support the Assad regime in Syria, which has repeatedly used chemical weapons. It’s Russia that has long maintained a biological weapons program in violation of international law.

This is all an obvious ploy by Russia to try to try to justify its further premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified attack on Ukraine.

Psaki also tweeted that Russia is about to launch a “false flag operation” with biological weapons to blame on Ukraine, a talking point echoed by the State Department on Tuesday.
“Now that Russia has made these false claims, and China has seemingly endorsed this propaganda, we should all be on the lookout for Russia to possibly use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine, or to create a false flag operation using them. It’s a clear pattern,” she wrote.

The U.S. Department of State echoed Psaki’s statement, denying the existence of biolabs in Ukraine.

As Infowars explained, Nuland also relayed warnings of a potential Russian “false flag operation”:
Additionally, Nuland warned that with Russian forces in control of these facilities, they may stage a “false flag” attack to blame on Ukrainian forces.
“It is classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what they are planning to do themselves,” Nuland stated.
As Infowars has exhaustively reported, the DoD has funded several biological research facilities in Ukraine under the Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) program from 2008 to 2017, which were constructed and operated by U.S. firm Black & Veatch.
As investigative reporter Glenn Greenwald noted, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine boasted of the collaborative biolab efforts before suddenly scrubbing all evidence of the projects from its website.
For all the dismissive language used over the last two weeks by self-described “fact-checkers,” it is confirmed that the U.S. has worked with Ukraine, as recently as last year, in the “development of a bio-risk management culture; international research partnerships; and partner capacity for enhanced bio-security, bio-safety, and bio-surveillance measures.” The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine publicly boasted of its collaborative work with Ukraine “to consolidate and secure pathogens and toxins of security concern and to continue to ensure Ukraine can detect and report outbreaks caused by dangerous pathogens before they pose security or stability threats.”
Warnings from the U.S. government of a Russian “false flag operation” come on the same day that a Russian spokesperson said, “we have found your biological weapons.”
