Ex-adviser to Trump: Washington funded biological laboratories in Ukraine

Roger Stone, a former adviser to former US President Donald Trump, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is acting defensively in Ukraine.

Stone pointed out that there are biological laboratories in Ukraine, which are funded by the United States, and said, "There are biological laboratories that are funded from our tax revenues, and they are counting, and God only knows, what kind of plague."

Stone considered that Russia's actions in the framework of the special military operation to protect Donbass are exclusively defensive in nature, and that the residents of the United States do not receive objective information about the events in Ukraine.

"What's happening in Ukraine is not like what the media is telling us. The Ukrainians have practically used their land to put in place dual-launch missile units. There are biological laboratories that are funded with our tax revenue, and they are counting, and God knows, that is," the former Trump adviser said in a newspaper interview. A kind of plague. Putin is acting defensively, not offensively. But you don't read about that in the mainstream American media."

The former US presidential adviser also stressed that statements by US politicians about the need to support democracy in Ukraine appear hypocritical, "as it is difficult to describe the Kyiv authorities as democratic."

"Immediately after winning the election, [Ukrainian president] Zelensky arrested an opposition party candidate, declared the party itself illegal, and closed three television channels that criticized the government's position. This is nothing like democracy," Stone said.

It is noteworthy that Russia had launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24.

President Vladimir Putin described its goal as "to protect people who have been humiliated and exterminated by the Kyiv regime for eight years", and for this the "disarmament and elimination of Nazism in Ukraine" was carried out, and to bring all war criminals responsible for "bloody crimes against civilians" in Donbass to justice.
