London, March 11 : According to international media reports, the World Health Organization is said to have advised Ukraine to destroy any dangerous pathogens that were under research in their laboratories to prevent “potential spills” causing public health hazard. Like other countries, Ukraine has public health laboratories that study dangerous diseases in humans and animals, including Covid-19. Some of these were supported by the US, EU and WHO before the Russian invasion on February 24. Experts fear these labs could turn into focal points of a propaganda war between Russia and the West, “with Russia accusing Ukraine of hosting US-run biological and chemical weapons facilities”, the BBC reported.
