Diese Biolabore sind ein Erbe der Sowjetunion, als diese im Kalten Krieg in illegales biologisches Waffenprogramm unterhielt, obwohl sie das Gegenteil unterschrieben hatte. Die sind nicht von den USA, sondern vom Vorgängerstaat Russlands gebaut worden.
Diese Biolabore sind von den USA mit 200.000.000$ finanziert worden.
Wer die Immobilien anno Tobak mal gebaut hat ist da, in meinen Augen, wohl eher irrelevant.
Da geht's ja weniger um die Immobilien, sondern darum, wer die Einrichtung gebaut hat. Ohne sowjetische Biowaffenprogramm würde es diese Einrichtungen und eine US-Finanzierung ja nicht geben.

"On Aug. 29, 2005, Barack Obama, then a Democratic senator from Illinois, and Sen. Richard G. Lugar, Republican of Indiana, visited a laboratory at Kyiv’s Central Sanitary and Epidemiological Station in Ukraine. This facility was not well secured and, by the nature of its public health work, held dangerous pathogens. Andy Weber, a U.S. Defense Department official, showed Mr. Obama a tray of small vials: samples of Bacillus anthracis, the bacterium that causes anthrax. “I saw test tubes filled with anthrax and the plague lying virtually unlocked and unguarded — dangers we were told could only be secured with America’s help,” Mr. Obama recalled.

On the day of Mr. Obama’s visit, Ukraine signed an agreement with the United States to upgrade and modernize the labs. For example, cattle in Ukraine occasionally became naturally infected with anthrax and the Ukrainian scientists had been culturing the anthrax bacillus for diagnostic purposes, which meant they kept cultures of it, a potential target for terrorists. The U.S. assistance would help them move toward using safer molecular diagnostic methods, such as polymerase chain reaction and antigen testing. The United States also pledged to improve the locks on the doors and beef up capabilities so they could detect disease outbreaks sooner, as well as spot the cause.

The Nunn-Lugar program was partially in the U.S. interest. But it was also an act of benevolence. The sole remaining superpower extended a hand to nations that were weak and struggling, providing about $1 billion a year to the former Soviet republics. Since 2005, the U.S. agreement with Ukraine has led to $200 million in aid for 46 biomedical and health facilities. The assistance was not forced on anyone — it was designed to make people safer and healthier. The recipients were eager for it. The aid to Russia was terminated by President Vladimir Putin in 2014 but continued elsewhere."
