GENEVA, March 11 ― The World Health Organisation advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in the country's public health laboratories to prevent “any potential spills” that would spread disease among the population, the agency told Reuters yesterday.

In response to questions from Reuters about its work with Ukraine ahead of and during Russia's invasion, the WHO said in an email that it has collaborated with Ukrainian public health labs for several years to promote security practices that help prevent “accidental or deliberate release of pathogens.”

Ukrainian officials in Kyiv and at their embassy in Washington did not respond to requests for comment.
