"The Kremlin is intentionally spreading outright lies" per @StateDeptSpox "This Russian disinformation is total nonsense..."
MORE: @StateDept also says it has seen #China officials "echo these conspiracy theories" about biological & chemical weapon labs

"These claims have been debunked conclusively and repeatedly over many years" per @StateDeptSpox
"The #UnitedStates does not own or operate any chemical or biological laboratories in #Ukraine" per @StateDeptSpox

"#Russia is inventing false pretexts in an attempt to justify its own horrific actions in Ukraine"

Full statement:
#Russia has been pushing what multiple US officials have described as "absurd" "nonsense" claims about US-funded bio & chem weapon labs through official social media channels...
The #Russia|n allegations of US funded bioweapon labs in #Ukraine have also been echoed in the US and the West...

NEW: US readout of call between @SecDef Lloyd Austin and #Poland's Minister of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak re #Ukraine

Earlier @PentagonPresSec said @SecDef told #Poland's Błaszczak, "We do not support the transfer of additional fighter aircraft to the Ukrainian Air Force at this time & therefore have no desire to see them in our custody either"

re #MiG29s
"We believe the best way to support #Ukrainian defense is by providing them the weapons & the systems that they need most to defeat #Russia|n aggression, in particular anti armor & air defense" per @PentagonPresSec, adding such systems being used by #Ukraine to "great effect"
