The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

While Ukraine has dozens of public health laboratories that work to research and mitigate the threats of dangerous diseases — some of which are supported by the US, the EU, and the World Health Organization (WHO) — Moscow's claims that they're engaging in illicit research into bio-weapons are completely unfounded. Moscow is simply trying to distract from its crimes in Ukraine and justify its brutal invasion.

Establishment-critical narrative

Documents obtained from Hunter Biden's laptop appear to show that the US president's son was involved in obtaining funding for Department of Defense contractors to build bio-labs in Ukraine for work on deadly pathogens that could be classified as bio-weapons. Russia's claims may be at least partially true and warrant further investigation.
