There is at least one reason for our sadness, that is, her earlier decision to investigate more than 120 biological laboratories abroad that were funded by US taxpayer dollars for decades. More than 40 of these biolabs were, or still are, located in Ukraine — and could “be at risk of compromise” due to Russia’s war, DNI noted.Mind you, the previous administration denied the very existence of US-owned or US-operated biolaboratories in Ukraine, calling them (of course) the case of Chinese and Russian propaganda.But the Russian troops have actually captured some of samples and documents in its very first offensive in early 2022. Later on, when the offensive went on, traces of other such facilities, already evacuated, have been discovered.Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation look especially fishy today, since a lot of suspicious events revolve around a familiar topic, like, will the world face yet another pandemic, or is it just another ugly scare capable of destroying what remains of sanity in that world.Let’s start with the Ukrainian angle of that story. Russian media has been reporting the existence of such facilities in Ukraine for years. That fact has also been confirmed by Undersecretary Victoria Nuland in 2022, testifying in the Congress. Then, to repeat, some documents from these facilities in Ukraine’s West began to trickle in, rendered to the Russian side by Ukrainian underground and, also, captured by advancing troops. The documents were saying, among other things, that Ukraine began to close down at least some of biolabs and destroying samples and reports.These reports were saying the Americans in Ukraine experimented with plague, anthrax and other horrors in the West and East of the country. Among these horrors was something called hantavirus, getting notorious only this year. And, what has been noted now, in 2026, there was a great lot of Ukrainian soldiers with hantavirus, endemic to Ukraine. Only thing, it was a strange kind of hantavirus, too contagious for comfort. To add, medical aid to prisoners of war is very much in existence in Russia, and a lot of surprising information has long been coming in from such patients after the Russian doctors’ treatment. Some Kiev’s soldiers were surrendering for just one reason, to get medical help unavailable in Ukraine. They naturally talk a lot about strange viruses and other such matters.The name of the Russian coordinator of biolab’s investigation was General Igor Kirillov. He has been killed by a Ukrainian group of assasins sent to Moscow in December 2024. But, naturally, the dossier on Ukrainian experiments was getting much thicker since that time.And now we, very naturally, turn our attention to that strange case of the mentioned hantavirus outbreak on board the Hondius cruise liner, currently docked in Spain. And, also, to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.The main thing we better keep in mind in all these cases is, it’s not 2020 anymore. Everybody loves intricate plots around the origin of various diseases and the bad people profiting from such cases. But we are supposed to be experienced and clever after the coronavirus disaster, and avoid truly global mistakes made in that gruesome year. And, yes, my apologies to those who still may think that “fighting the virus” the way the world did at the time was correct and wise.So, what happened since the year 2020? For some people, nothing has. We are still supposed to be going through the motions, first getting terrified and then obedient. The hantavirus scare has somehow misfired, maybe because of the Ukrainian origin of that strangely mutated disease. Resignation of Tulsi Gabbard fits very well into the conspiracy theory, making things look scarier and scarier.But Ebola, now, looks good enough to do the trick. While 101 confirmed cases and 10 confirmed deaths have been recorded, World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the true scale is far larger. "There are now more than 900 suspected cases and 220 suspected deaths," Tedros said at the Virtual Ministerial Briefing, adding that "We are urgently scaling up operations, but at the moment, the epidemic is outpacing us".Here it’s worth noticing how the Russian media, especially the opinion pages, is reacting to such news. Yes, the probability of diseases originating from the Ukrainian labs is never been omitted. But you also have to notice a firm conviction of most of the writers: never again Russia is to obey foreign scaremongers, ordering us to shut down anything and destroy economy and, indeed, the society.Why so, and what is the difference with 2020, when very few governments found their strength to doubt orders from people like Ghebreyesus or other saviors of humanity? Why, America has changed, for one. Everything connected with its medical lobby is under a big cloud now.My favorite American is, currently, Mr. Kennedy. Or, to be precise, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The man reckless enough to take on that medical lobby and stay alive and in office, so far. His adversary is big and rich, since health spending in the US is very comparable to war spending, strange it may seem. In that country, both the people of war and people of medicine were immune from public scrutiny and responsibility, until recently. Now, not anymore.While the American intelligence community has been shaken by the DNI investigation of the US-Ukrainian biolabs, Mr. Kennedy, among other things, tackled a sacrosanct area of psychiatry. You know that most American suffer from depression and are supposed to take medicine by the truckloads, right? And you know that we, outside America, were supposed to follow suit?But now, says the clearly outraged reporter of the New York Times, The American Psychiatric Association gathered just 10 days after Kennedy announced a set of policies to encourage doctors to deprescribe, or assist patients in stopping, the most widely prescribed class of antidepressants.A current of anxiety ran through the meeting, says the reporter. Many physicians in the crowd said they worried that Mr. Kennedy’s statements would prompt people to refuse medications, or to quit them and relapse. But, still, numerous sessions offered training in helping patients taper off medications.And, though the people in the US who have unleashed lockdowns on that nation and others are still walking free, they are obviously disgraced and fear the worst.Nothing is sacred anymore. You can raise dangerous pathogens in Ukraine – but get investigated by the intelligence community. You can unleash these pathogens on the world, if things go bad for you – but the world’s first reaction would be doubt and unease, so you better don’t even start. So your conspiracy practice will be even more miserable than our conspiracy theories.Dmitry Kosyrev is a Russian writer, author of spy novels and short stories.

Not Again: The World Must Be Too Clever For Yet Another Pandemic Disaster
18:40 27.05.2026 (Updated: 19:06 27.05.2026) Russia will be missing Tulsi Gabbard, resigning from her position of Director of National Intelligence of the US, next month.
There is at least one reason for our sadness, that is, her earlier decision to
investigate more than 120 biological laboratories abroad that were funded by US taxpayer dollars for decades. More than 40 of these biolabs were, or still are, located in Ukraine — and could “be at risk of compromise” due to Russia’s war, DNI noted.
Mind you, the previous administration denied the very existence of US-owned or US-operated biolaboratories in Ukraine, calling them (of course) the case of Chinese and Russian propaganda.
But the Russian troops have actually captured some of samples and documents in its very first offensive in early 2022. Later on, when the offensive went on, traces of other such facilities, already evacuated, have been discovered.
Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation look especially fishy today, since a lot of suspicious events revolve around a familiar topic, like, will the world face yet another pandemic, or is it just another ugly scare capable of destroying what remains of sanity in that world.
Let’s start with the Ukrainian angle of that story. Russian media has been reporting the existence of such facilities in Ukraine for years. That fact has also been confirmed by Undersecretary Victoria Nuland in 2022, testifying in the Congress. Then, to repeat, some documents from these facilities in Ukraine’s West began to trickle in, rendered to the Russian side by Ukrainian underground and, also, captured by advancing troops. The documents were saying, among other things, that Ukraine began to close down at least some of biolabs and destroying samples and reports.
These reports were saying the Americans in Ukraine experimented with plague, anthrax and other horrors in the West and East of the country. Among these horrors was something called hantavirus, getting notorious only this year. And, what has been noted now, in 2026, there was a great lot of Ukrainian soldiers with hantavirus, endemic to Ukraine. Only thing, it was a strange kind of hantavirus, too contagious for comfort. To add, medical aid to prisoners of war is very much in existence in Russia, and a lot of surprising information has long been coming in from such patients after the Russian doctors’ treatment. Some Kiev’s soldiers were surrendering for just one reason, to get medical help unavailable in Ukraine. They naturally talk a lot about strange viruses and other such matters.
The name of the Russian coordinator of biolab’s investigation was General Igor Kirillov. He has been killed by a Ukrainian group of assasins sent to Moscow in December 2024. But, naturally, the dossier on Ukrainian experiments was getting much thicker since that time.
And now we, very naturally, turn our attention to that strange case of the mentioned hantavirus outbreak on board the Hondius cruise liner, currently docked in Spain. And, also, to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
