We don't know if biological weapons are in Ukraine. We do know there are dangerous "biological research facilities" there: which we know because Victoria Nuland, shocking Rubio, warned about.
But the history of US programs gives the lie to WH denials about bioweapons in general.

It's been amazing to watch the entire US corporate media -- from the NYT to certain Pentagon reporters on Fox -- unite to *proclaim* that concerns about bio weapons labs in Ukraine are *false.* They 100% *do not know that*: they only CIA/DoD denies it.

As I recount in the above video report, the NYT -- on Sept 4, 2001: exactly one week before 9/11 -- published an article warning that the CIA was developing bio weapons programs that skirted, if not crossed, legal bans, including with anthrax. Read this:

Meanwhile, @Reuters today:
"Exclusive: WHO says it advised Ukraine to destroy pathogens in health labs to prevent disease spread"
WHO "advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in the country's public health laboratories."

The worst pathology in US corporate media is treating evidence-free Pentagon and CIA assertions as true, and demanding everyone do so. From Iraq to Russiagate, this has led to endless lies ratified by them. I've never seen them do this more than right now: journalistic jingoism.
That Russia and China claim that the US built bio weapons labs with Ukraine is irrelevant. Those assertions shouldn't be treated as true either absent proof. But you don't need to look at what they said: only at what Victoria Nuland, Ukraine's colonial overlord, said:
If you're interested in reading typically ignored facts about Ukraine and the 2016 change of government - including the role of US State Dept/Nuland as well as neo-Nazi groups - read this great 2014 article by Lev Golinkin, a Ukranian-American immigrant.

If you want to say this moment demands patriotism and no questioning or dissent from the US Govt should be permitted -- only Kremlin agents would do that -- just say so. But the role of journalists still should be critically scrutinizing US Govt claims.

(mixed 2014 and 2016 here: the change of government is 2014, the outstanding article about that event is 2016).

One of the dumbest and funniest rhetoric tactics of US officials and their media allies is to take some utterly common, banal and universal human behavior and insist that it's some special Russian invention, a "classic trademark" of the Russian mind, that only Russia does it.
