Russian defense spokesman claims that the United States is training birds to fly from Ukraine to Russia to spread bioweapons

Russia Makes Crazy Claim That U.S. Is Training Birds To Spread A Ukrainian Bioweapon

The Kremlin’s invasion has now entered its 16th day and Russian forces continue to struggle to make real progress toward their objectives on the ground in Ukraine. In addition to turning to increasingly more brutal siege tactics in efforts to secure a number of important cities, which is causing a growing number of civilian casualties, Russian authorities look to be stepping up their disinformation campaign. Today, among other things, the Russian Ministry of Defense made a wholly unsubstantiated and outright bizarre claim that the U.S. government is somehow training birds infected with or otherwise carrying biological weapons to fly from Ukraine to Russia.
