In my defence, your original comment made no mention of anything Soviet.
I think it’s not unreasonable to assume that when people say “Ukraine”, they’re referring to the free and independent sovereign nation.
Furthermore, you said that this is happening now or is planned for the future. The USSR doesn’t exist now, so this sounds very much like the common kremlin justification for their illegal invasion — that the Americans are using Ukraine to conduct secret nefarious experiments in bio labs.
The most charitable interpretation of your comment is perhaps that russia may use biological or chemical weapons in the current war against the Ukrainians, but then one would have to ignore that you specified Eastern Ukraine, because nothing is limiting russian terror to the Donbas.
