A completely dishonest characterization of facilities engaged in benign basic biological, medical, and veterinary research. It is no different from research performed in the U.S. or Europe.
Ukraine only has a few facilities rated BSL-3 and none rated BSL-4.
Putin: NATO started the war. It wasn't Russia who started the special military operation.
His lies are getting more and more delusional.
"Russia is standing alone against the entire collective West, represented by the well-known North Atlantic bloc - NATO.
All NATO countries are intensifying their efforts and doing everything possible to organize these hostile actions against Russia and, as they believe, bring the war they unleashed against Russia to a victorious conclusion.
It was they who started this war.
It wasn't us who launched the hostilities at the beginning of the 'special military operation'."
BREAKING: UNRWA just fired 70 employees in Gaza over their ties to Hamas, in wake of UN Watch's latest revelations and the investigation by the U.S. Inspector General of USAID.

I’m pretty sure the Iranian people in general feel betrayed by the US for this looming deal with their oppressors.
They’re not alone: Israelis, Emiratis , Lebanese and Bahrainis, to name a few, probably share the sentiment.
Not a good look for the leader of the free world.
Russian milbloggers say Ukraine's FP-2 drones are turning into a "second HIMARS," first hitting bridges to Crimea near Armyansk and Stavky and then targeting truck convoys stuck in the resulting traffic jams.
Two months of strikes and still no protected parking has appeared. If this keeps up, Crimea's land routes will be seriously squeezed, possibly forcing Russia to open the Crimean Bridge to trucks, risking that too, they write.
BREAKING: Alice Edwards, one of only two UN rights experts to sign a letter on the Oct. 7 atrocities, says “There was a campaign [by other rapporteurs] to prevent that letter going out. Weeks of being bullied and deterred from writing it, telling me everything in it was false.”
The United Nations and Hamas: A Toxic Relationship? A close friend of mine from Gaza City, tortured nearly to death by Hamas, a well‑known activist against the group, and someone I helped evacuate during the war, was featured in the UN Human Rights Council’s report documenting Hamas’s abuses against Palestinian civilians: executions, torture, beatings, the misuse of medical facilities, and the terrorizing of women and children.
When he met with the UN investigation team, one investigator was openly sympathetic to Hamas and the “resistance” narrative, signaling from the start that she doubted his testimony. He then spent five hours convincing the rest of the team that Hamas had, in fact, tortured him, despite extensive evidence of his injuries circulating on social media and a medical examination confirming blunt‑force trauma consistent with organized abuse, not random violence or Israeli bombardment. He even had to walk the investigators, including Ms. pro‑Hamas, through how his case fits into hundreds of others across Gaza, and how Hamas itself has filmed and publicly released its own executions, beatings, and torture to terrorize the population.
Imagine that: Hamas documenting its own crimes on video, and supposedly serious investigators refusing to believe what is right in front of them. Imagine a human rights inquiry that includes someone openly aligned with the very group under investigation. It forces a hard question: why are parts of the UN system so compromised when it comes to Hamas that they cannot think beyond Israel’s actions long enough to examine the crimes of Palestinian actors, crimes that are equally harmful, shameful, and deserving of condemnation? And why are some so eager to believe Palestinians when the accusation is against Israel, yet so reluctant when the accusation is against Hamas, even when the evidence is overwhelming?
New UN report shows that Hamas perpetrated "hundreds of cases of extrajudicial punishment" against Gazans. "These cases involved executions, kneecapping, bone-breaking with metal pipes or cement bricks and beatings" https://t.co/OyEcAuKdCu
HORRIFIC: Hamas militias have doubled down on their threats against Palestinian activist Nawal Ferwana and forced her to delete her Facebook post.
According to reports from Gaza, this time they threatened her with death.
Will any of the prominent pro-Palestinian activists who speak so passionately about Palestinian rights condemn Hamas for threatening a Palestinian woman with death for expressing her opinion?
Palestinians deserve freedom of speech no matter who is trying to silence them.
European countries should not trust the US assessment as long as a KGB asset is running the country. Russia is going to attack the NATO and US won't come to the rescue. Simple as that.

German broadcasters are withholding a documentary on UNRWA's terror ties from the public. As taxpayers send hundreds of millions to UNRWA, UN Watch has written to German FM Johann Wadephul demanding answers.
🧵 See what the broadcasters are trying to hide from the public:
🇷🇺🇨🇦 Russia has threatened Canada with an “appropriate response” for supporting Ukraine
Moscow accused Ottawa of being a “warmonger” for continuing to provide military assistance to Kyiv and vowed to add Canadian defense-related facilities to its military planning.
It's always fascinating to hear lectures about peace from a country that launched the largest war in Europe since World War II.
In the Kremlin's worldview, invading your neighbor is normal. Helping the victim defend itself is the real provocation.
Het is al een tijd geleden dat ik een lange draad heb gemaakt, maar de situatie in Oekraine is zo erg aan het veranderen dat het tijd is om te kijken naar wat er gaande is, hoe beide kanten er voor staan, wat de ontwikkelingen zijn, of de doelstellingen voor beide partijen behaald kunnen worden en wat de verwachting is voor de komende tijd. Uitsluitend met geverifieerde informatie & OSINT dus lets go! 1/
At long last, the UN Human Rights Council has formally acknowledged that Hamas in Gaza carried out executions, torture, improperly used medical facilities for terror purposes, and engaged in violent abuses against women and children after October 7. The report captures only a fraction of what actually occurred, in part because documenting these crimes is extraordinarily difficult and because Gazans fear retaliation if they report anything to the UN or other investigators. The findings on Hamas were buried beneath a long section on Israeli settler abuses in the West Bank, but even so, this marks a significant shift for an international body that has long struggled to speak plainly about Hamas’s brutality in Gaza.
Most importantly, the report acknowledges but barely scratches the surface of how extensively Hamas has weaponized Gaza’s medical infrastructure, embedding fighters in hospitals, using patients as shields, and turning civilian facilities into operational hubs. The UN even notes that Doctors Without Borders evacuated non-essential staff from Nasser Hospital because Hamas was interfering with the hospital’s operations.
When I shared this information, including testimonies from Gazans who documented Hamas’s fascistic behavior inside hospitals, and photos of fighters emerging from Nasser Hospital after the ceasefire, the online “pro-Palestine” chorus had nothing to offer except accusations of Zionist collaboration, accusations of betrayal, and personal insults. This UN report is an indictment not only of Hamas, a violent extremist terror organization responsible for immense suffering, but also of every activist, journalist, and academic who chose to look away. It shows that Hamas’s crimes were so egregious, so undeniable, that even a slow, hesitant, and often ineffectual body like the UNHRC could no longer pretend not to see them.
Shame on anyone who still defends Hamas or ever believed its violence constituted “resistance” on behalf of the Palestinian people.
Waar we in het Westen mee moeten ophouden is staatsmedia van autoritaire staten als “onafhankelijke media” beschouwen. Het zijn propagandatools. En vaak wat ze schrijven mag niet eens in hun eigen land getoond worden. Het is puur bedoeld om een westers publiek mee te misleiden.
Ik heb me altijd afgevraagd hoe de holocaust ooit heeft kunnen ontstaan.
Nu weet ik het: heel geleidelijk, met uitgesproken bewerinkjes van schijnbaar heel nette mensen.
Hamas is in full panic mode over the June 26 calls for mass protests against its violent, authoritarian, fascistic rule in Gaza. It has unleashed its agents, operatives, loyalists posing as “journalists,” West Bank activists, online propagandists, and terror networks to incite violence, demand a crackdown, and even organize counter‑demonstrations.
Hamas is circulating flyers calling for protests demanding the resignation of Nikolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace executive committee chair overseeing the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), after he criticized Hamas’s stalling and obstruction. Even worse, Hamas supporters in the West Bank, including the vile “journalist” Souad al‑Khawaja, are openly calling for the killing of anyone who protests against the terror group and its “resistance.” Expect the same from Western “pro‑Palestine” circles in Europe and the US: they will smear anti‑Hamas protesters as “collaborators,” “traitors,” “Israeli agents,” or “suspicious individuals.” We saw this during the war, when thousands of Gazans demanded the release of hostages and an end to the conflict Hamas ignited.
Watch closely how the most anti‑Palestinian elements of the “pro‑Palestine” cult will once again find any excuse to side with Hamas over the actual people of Gaza.
