Victoria Nuland Admits Fear 'Russian Forces May Be Seeking to Gain Control' of Ukraine Biolabs

"So, we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces."

Russia's suspicions about the U.S.-funded biolaboratory program in Ukraine are being heightened by a recent acknowledgement by Victoria Nuland, the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. Watch:

US is working with Ukraine to prevent biological research facilities from falling into the hands of Russians — Nuland

"Ukraine has biological research facilities, which in fact, we are now quite concerned," Nuland said "Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces."

Ukraine had already issued a presidential order on February 24 to sterilize the facilities in the event of unforeseen military occupation, as documents obtained and exclusively translated by Becker News revealed.

Documents scrubbed from the U.S. embassy in Ukraine and obtained by Becker News confirm the existence and Pentagon funding of the "Biological Threat Reduction" program.

Victoria Nuland has a lengthy history of diplomatic and political affairs in NATO, Russia and Eastern Europe. Even left-wing Salon warned the Biden administration about bringing on Victoria Nuland.

"Who is Victoria Nuland? Most Americans have never heard of her, because the U.S. corporate media's foreign policy coverage is a wasteland," Salon laments. "Most Americans have no idea that President-elect Biden's pick for deputy secretary of state for political affairs is stuck in the quicksand of 1950s U.S.-Russia Cold War politics and dreams of continued NATO expansion, an arms race on steroids and further encirclement of Russia."

"Nor do they know that from 2003 to 2005, during the hostile U.S. military occupation of Iraq, Nuland was a foreign policy advisor to Dick Cheney, the Darth Vader of the Bush administration," the piece adds.

Harvard describes Nuland as "a career ambassador" who "spent more than three decades in the U.S. Foreign Service as a top Russian policy expert and representative to NATO, Ukraine, and Europe during the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Nuland’s leadership of U.S. support for the Maidan revolution in Ukraine made her the first high-profile victim of politically targeted phone hackings ordered by Putin in 2014."

Putin appears to have retaliated against the U.S. by hacking and releasing a conversation between then-Assistant Secretary of State Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, wherein she said "fuck the EU."

“That would be great I think to help glue this thing and have the UN glue it and you know, fuck the EU," she says, apparently referring to differences over their policies.

The radical publication Salon's language is quite stark, and by all appearances, entirely accurate.

"Despite outrage from German Chancellor Angela Merkel, no one fired Nuland, but her potty mouth upstaged the more serious story: the U.S. plot to overthrow Ukraine's elected government — and America's responsibility for a civil war that has killed at least 13,000 people and left Ukraine the poorest country in Europe."

"In the process, Nuland, her husband Robert Kagan — co-founder of The Project for a New American Century — and their neocon cronies succeeded in sending U.S.-Russian relations into a dangerous downward spiral from which they have yet to recover."

"Nuland accomplished this from a relatively junior position as assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. How much more trouble could she stir up as the No. 3 official at Biden's State Department?" Salon asks. "We'll find out soon enough, if the Senate confirms her nomination."
