Business Insider: White House says Russia's baseless claim of US having chemical weapons in Ukraine suggests Putin's forces may 'possibly use' them
* Russian officials have baselessly accused the US of running a bio weapons program in Ukraine.
* The White House described the claim as "preposterous" and Russian "disinformation."
* WH press secretary Jen Psaki said Russia may be setting itself up to use chemical weapons in Ukraine.
Russia's baseless accusation that the US has chemical weapons in Ukraine could mean the Kremlin is planning to use them, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday.
"We took note of Russia's false claims about alleged US biological weapons labs and chemical weapons development in Ukraine. We've also seen Chinese officials echo these conspiracy theories," Psaki said in a Twitter thread. "This is preposterous."
She said the claim was "the kind of disinformation operation we've seen repeatedly from the Russians over the years" and "an example of the types of false pretexts we have been warning the Russians would invent."

Bottom line.
Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland made it very clear in sworn testimony this week that she was worried that the Russian military may get their hands on the research that was conducted at these labs. She obviously is privy to a lot of information, and I think we all deserve to know what was being done at these labs, and why have these materials not been removed since the start of the invasion.
