Russian oligarch Abramovich and two Ukrainian diplomats suffered suspected poisoning after March 3 peace talk

‘There is a lot of speculation, various conspiracy theories’ - Ukrainian negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak

Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and two top Ukrainian diplomats reportedly suffered symptoms of suspected poisoning earlier this month after a meeting in Kyiv.

Abramovich is acting as an unofficial envoy for Russia in talks with Ukraine and accepted to help Kyiv end Moscow’s unprovoked invasion, which began on February 24.

The Wall Street Journal on Monday reported that Abramovich and the Ukrainian lawmaker Rustem Umerov and another negotiator experienced symptoms that included red eyes, constant and painful tearing, and peeling skin on their faces and hands.
