In the Georgian segment of Facebook, a fragment of an interview with American ex-lieutenant Scott Bennett, which he gave to Iranian media Press TV, is being distributed. Bennett said that under the leadership of the United States, biological weapons were allegedly produced on the territory of Ukraine. This process began in 2005 with the creation of the 501C3 organization, which then transformed into Metabiota, funded by a company led by Hunter Biden. Scott Bennett also said that the Obama and Biden administrations collected the DNA of the Slavic population in order to create biological weapons against them. It's fake.

The case was investigated by specialists from the Myth Detector project. The statements of ex-lieutenant Scott Bennett repeat Kremlin fakes and manipulations of a biological laboratory in Ukraine. His words that the DNA of the Slavic peoples was collected to create biological weapons against them are unsubstantiated. Also, evidence that the Metabiota company is involved in the creation of biological weapons has not been proven. Professor Oliver Jones, Head of Biosciences and Food Technology at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, responded to the statement and explained that people are too genetically similar, so it is technically impossible to create bioagents that selectively destroy only the Slavic gene. In 2005, Ukraine and America signed an agreement on cooperation in the field of biosecurity. It is an Agreement Concerning Cooperation in the Area of Prevention of Proliferation of Technology, Pathogens and Expertise That Could Be Used in the Development of Biological Weapons between the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the Department of Defense of the United States of America.

Russian propaganda systematically spreads fakes and manipulations on the development of biological weapons in Ukraine. This is part of the narrative that “the West controls Ukraine”. There have never been American biological laboratories in Ukraine. Earlier, Detector Media denied the fake that the United States is conducting military biological research in Ukraine with the bird flu virus.
