From Al Manar:

Russian Ministry of Defense said a secret project to study the ways bats can transmit diseases to humans has been carried out under US control at a laboratory in Kharkov, Ukraine for many years…….

….As part of the project, the Kharkiv State Veterinary Academy studied wild birds as vectors for the transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza, Konashenkov said, adding that the conditions were assessed under which the transfer processes can become unmanageable, cause economic damage, and create food security risks.

The spokesman added that the ministry will present new documents on the export of a large amount of human biomaterials from Ukraine to the UK and other European countries in the near future.”

Highly pathogenic avian flu outbreaks have been plaguing several states in India, including Kerala, in recent years, and it has resulted in the large -scale culling of chickens. In my earlier post about Ukraine, Soros and the Omidyar network, I mentioned the connection of the Omidyar’s Roshan Foundation to researchers working on avian flu and its pandemic potential.
