US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has announced she will release previously classified intelligence revealing evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs across more than 30 countries, including Ukraine. The disclosure forms part of a sweeping White House review of overseas biological research facilities funded by American taxpayers, challenging previous official denials about the existence of these laboratories.

This announcement marks the most significant development in the White House's review of taxpayer-funded research labs operating abroad. More than 40 of these facilities are specifically located in Ukraine, complexes that Washington once claimed never existed. The investigation aims to identify where these labs are located, what pathogens they contain, and what gain-of-function research is being conducted under US government funding.
