Skepticism doesn’t require evidence. The only party that needs to provide evidence is the US who operate these labs. All the following questions need clear answers:

• If the international community’s concerns are “disinformation”, why doesn’t the US release detailed materials to prove its innocence?
• What did they spend the $200 million on?
• What kind of research was conducted on which pathogens?
• What kind of sensitive information about public health cannot be shared?
• Does the Ukrainian side know what the US has been working on in Ukraine?
• What is it trying to hide when the US Embassy in Ukraine deleted all relevant documents on its website?
• Why does the US insist on being the only country in the world to oppose the establishment of a multilateral verification mechanism though it claims to abide by the BWC?
• If the US wants to prove its innocence, why doesn’t it open up these bio-labs for independent investigations by international experts?

No, we do not agree at all. We don’t know what’s in those labs, and US won’t let independent investigators into these labs. If you don’t understand why that’s a problem what else is there to tell you really.

The claims for weapons being developed in these biolabs have not in fact been proven, and no independent verification ever happened. By proven you must mean US officials saying trust me. Two big questions for you:

If the US wants to prove its innocence, why doesn’t it open up these bio-labs for independent investigations by international experts?

Why does the US insist on being the only country in the world to oppose the establishment of a multilateral verification mechanism though it claims to abide by the BWC?

First, let’s establish some context here. What Russia is rightly concerned about is the fact that NATO has been relentlessly expanding to the east. They’ve now given NATO an ultimatum that it has to roll back and comply with the original security guarantees that were given after USSR dissolved. The threat to Russia is real and should not be understated. NATO being able to put nukes in Ukraine would mean that they could reach Moscow in five minutes. This is a red line for Russia. All the NATO members have already stated that there is no prospects of Ukraine joining NATO or EU in the foreseeable future. This precludes any reason for Russia to act.

Russia has also never once said that it plans to invade Ukraine. The troops you’re talking about are stationed in their barracks. Likewise, France, Germany, and even Ukraine are saying that there is no Russian invasion happening.

So far, the only countries insisting that there is some imminent invasion are US and UK. And the country that’s been most damaged by these claims is Ukraine since all the investors are now pulling out leading to the economy crashing. This is the primary reason Ukrainian government has now broken with the US narrative.

Russia is achieving its goals without any need to invade Ukraine. Europe has absolutely no interest in having a full out war in Ukraine, and it’s also heavily dependent on Russian gas and oil meaning that EU has little appetite to try and sanction Russia. On the other hand, US appears to be pushing for conflict as a distraction from the disastrous domestic policy and because accepting Russian demands would be seen as weakness. This is already driving a serious wedge within NATO. Russia will continue to apply pressure by doing military exercises within its borders, and negotiating with western powers. France, Italy, and Germany are already having direct talks with Russia and this is the most likely path towards resolving the issue.

Russia invading Ukraine would be counter to their goals as it would actually help unite NATO against them. There is no conceivable benefit to Russia from fighting a war in Ukraine. It’s also worth noting that Russian media hasn’t talked about any war, and typically countries prepare their public for a war when they’re planning on having one.

The only scenario Russia has stated that it would engage militarily in Ukraine would be if Ukraine invaded Donbas. Ukraine has been ignoring its Minsk agreement commitments failing to grant autonomy to Donetsk and Luhansk, and has been engaging in committing war crimes in these regions by attacking water supply and civilian targets.
