‘There is no evidence that the #Azovstal steel plant in #Mariupol hides a "#bio #laboratory" and a #NATO base’

#russian #disinformation #biolabs #Ukraine
“First, #Ukraine it is not currently a member country of #NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, an international organization for defense cooperation) and on its territory they are not here therefore NATO #military #bases.
Furthermore, there are no independent sources able to confirm the existence of a base in the basement of the #Azovstal steel plant.”
“How the #myth of #biolaboratories was born and how it spread in #Ukraine”

‘Since the early hours, the #Russian #invasion of #Ukraine has spawned a staggering amount of #conspiracy theories. Some point to completely denying the very existence of conflict, arguing that the #dead and #wounded are actually “#actors”;
others try to raise concerns about specific events, such as the #bombing of the #Mariupol #hospital or the #Bucha #massacre; and still others perform a #propaganda function, above all that of the phantom #Ukrainian "#biolaboratories", one of the best known and most widespread.’
Day 433 is upon us.
The 433rd day of #Russia's 3-4 plan to take #Kyiv and all of #Ukraine within 10 days.

BREAKING: Special forces of the newly formed Urban war unit of the Russian Army, Assisted by Wagner’s volunteer body, has only a few hours ago, broken down the last remaining Ukrainian defense at the #Azom industrial complex of Bakhmut & occupied its wastewater treatment plant.
This new development is as a result of Ukraine’s inability to resupply the trapped forces in the complex, which they had attempted to do yesterday after the news broke that much of the requested western weapons had arrived Ukraine. It was also reported that Ukraine had amassed a
Huge body of western mercenaries and conscripts and were all set to launch a counteroffensive on Bakhmut. It all appears that didn’t age well after all. Like #Azov steel plant, battles are now raging in the underground facilities of the industrial complex. They have also turned

In addition, nukes programs “have been detected” inside thousands of mobiles, TV, washing mashings across the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions.
Than, #Azovstal. The hugest nuke program was found there. So RU bastards decided to wipe out it along with the whole Mariupol citizens as they for sure were involved to they nuke experiments.
