Somebody Poisoned the Russia-Ukraine Peace Negotiations...Literally

• https://townhall.com by Matt Vespa

We're lucky this wasn't an attack aimed to kill because everyone involved would be dead already. Some of the top officials trying to broker a peace deal, including a Russian oligarch, were poisoned after a meeting in Kyiv. The meeting occurred in early March. The symptoms were not life-threatening, though incredibly disconcerting as the skin from their faces began to peel off. Experts who have analyzed poison attacks in this region of the world saw photos of those afflicted and concluded that this attack was meant as a warning (via Wall Street Journal):

Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and Ukrainian peace negotiators suffered symptoms of suspected poisoning after a meeting in Kyiv earlier this month, people familiar with the matter said.

Mr. Abramovich Ukrainian lawmaker Rustem Umerov and another negotiator developed symptoms following the March 3 meeting in Kyiv that included red eyes, constant and painful tearing, and peeling skin on their faces and hands, the people said. Mr. Abramovich has shuttled between Moscow, Belarus and other negotiating venues since Russia invaded Ukraine.
