| quote: Russian-Israeli oligarch Roman Abramovich and the Ukrainian negotiators in the ceasefire talks were allegedly poisoned during a meeting in Kyiv last month, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
Abramovich and the Ukrainian delegation, led by chief negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak, reportedly suffered from symptoms of poisoning after the Kyiv meeting held some time in February, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, WSJ reporter Max Colchester reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Sources claimed they were poisoned by Russian hardliners who want to sabotage ceasefire negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv, the report stated. A source close to Abramovich, however, said that it was not clear who targeted the oligarch and the Ukrainian delegation.
The condition of the Russian-Israeli oligarch and the Ukrainian negotiating team has since improved and their lives are not in danger.

Maybe they should also provide route info and expected times of transit. Sheesh. |

| They've lost. Now Zelensky has to figure out what he's willing to give them to let them save face.
I read last night that the Russians have lost a greater number of tanks than the Germans have in their army. Since the entire Russian economy is built on predation by the oligarchs, I wonder how they will be able to afford the costs of rebuilding. |

| quote: Russian soldiers who seized the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster drove their armoured vehicles without radiation protection through a highly toxic zone called the "Red Forest", kicking up clouds of radioactive dust, workers at the site said.
The two sources said soldiers in the convoy did not use any anti-radiation gear. The second Chernobyl employee said that was "suicidal" for the soldiers because the radioactive dust they inhaled was likely to cause internal radiation in their bodies.

Those poor, poor pawns. I'll bet they're so radioactive they'll even sicken their families, including unborn children kind of like US soldiers were by Agent Orange in Vietnam.
