Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
From Bellingcat as reported by Sky News.
Quote:
Roman Abramovich and Ukrainian peace negotiators 'suffered symptoms of suspected chemical weapons poisoning' after talks
Symptoms included "piercing pain in the eyes" but the dosage and type of toxin was likely insufficient to cause life-threatening damage, according to investigative website Bellingcat.
Bellingcat tweeted: "Bellingcat can confirm that three members of the delegation attending the peace talks between Ukraine and Russia on the night of 3 to 4 March 2022 experienced symptoms consistent with poisoning with chemical weapons.
"One of victims was Russian entrepreneur Roman Abramovich."
Mr Abramovich has reportedly travelled between Moscow and Kyiv during the several rounds of negotiations amid the war.
The billionaire and at least two senior members of the Ukrainian team developed symptoms that included red eyes, constant and painful tearing, and peeling skin on their faces and hands, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The health conditions of the trio, who include Crimean Tatar politician Rustem Umerov, have since improved and their lives are not in danger, the publication added.
