I came across an interesting article published by Daily Mail:
According to the above article, emails found in Hunter's "laptop from hell" show that he helped secure funding for a Department of Defense contractor and introduced this company to Ukrainian gas firm Burisma.
The name of this DoD contractor is Metabiota, which specializes in pathogen research.
...
Emails and defense contract data reviewed by DailyMail.com suggest that Hunter had a prominent role in making sure Metabiota was able to conduct its pathogen research just a few hundred miles from the border with Russia.The project turned into a national security liability for Ukraine when Russian forces invaded the country last month.
Metabiota has worked in Ukraine for Black & Veatch, a US defense contractor with deep ties to military intelligence agencies, which built secure labs in Ukraine that analyzed killer diseases and bioweapons.
...
Hunter and his colleagues at his investment firm Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners (RSTP) routinely raised millions of dollars for technology companies, hoping the firms would take off and make them all fortunes.Metabiota was one of those firms. Emails between Hunter and his colleagues excitedly discuss how the company's monitoring of medical data could become an essential tool for governments and companies looking to spot outbreaks of infectious diseases.
...
The article also features several emails from Hunter's laptop. The following is an email from Mary Guttieri of Metabiota to Hunter Biden:
Subject: MEMO: Ukraine Science
From: Mary Guttieri (redacted)
Date: 4/4/14, 6:14 AM
To: (redacted)
CC: (redacted)Hi Hunter,
I hope you enjoyed a smooth flight across the pond and that this finds you and your wife enjoying a wonderful Friday in beautiful Lake Como!
Thanks so much for taking time out of your intense schedule to meet with Kathy and I on Tuesday. We very much enjoyed our discussion. As promised, I've prepared the attached memo, which provides an overview of Metabiota, our engagement in Ukraine, and how we can potentially leverage our team, networks, and concepts to assert Ukraine's cultural and economic independence from Russia and continued integration into Western society. The pdf comprises English and Ukrainian versions of the document.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require clarification. We look forward to hearing the outcome of your discussions on this topic.
Wishing you successful meetings and a great visit!
Best regards,
MaryMary C. Guttieri, PhD
Vice President, Science & Technology Administration

Interestingly, a pathogen/bioweapon research company wanted to help "assert Ukraine's cultural and economic independence from Russia and continued integration into Western society" in 2014.
The following is an email from Vadim Pozharskyi(Burisma) to Devon Archer(Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners). It's obvious that Devon Archer forwarded Metabiota memo to Burisma:
From: Vadim Pozharskyi (redacted)

To: Devon Archer (redacted)
Subject: Re: MEMO: Ukraine ScienceDear Devon,
Please find feq initial points to be discussed for the purposes of analyzing the potential of this as you called, "Science Ukraine" project.
1. Financing. As I understand the Metabiota was a subcontract to principal contractor of the DoD B&V. Today they seem to state that financing is closed. What was the reason of stopping the projects and financing of the projects? They look for a new financing. Do they expect to receive it again from B&V or they look for else were?
2. What kind of partnership Metabiota is looking for in Ukraine? From potential non-governmental player in Kiev? Rebuilt the ties with respective ministries in Ukraine, and on the base of that reinstate the financing from the B&V? Or they look for partnership in managing projects in Ukraine, PR with Government institutions here, financing of the projects?
(( Metabiota counterparts in Ukraine were (i.e. final beneficiary and the recipient of the results of the projects) were ministries of from Ukraine, Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Health. From the Ukrainian governmental point of you, it looks like standard international Assistance project, that could be technical, financial, etc))
3. The principal contractor B&V seems to be also the party that operates in Ukraine on the similar or the same projects. There is no competition here?
Best regards, vadym
It seems that Metabiota was already involved as a subcontractor in Ukrainian bio-labs via DoD contractor Black & Veatch, but was looking to work on some other "science projects" in Ukraine with help of Hunter Biden and Burisma.
If there is anyone who still thinks Hunter's laptop is Russian disinformation, please check my previous post:
