His own explanation for the study of Americans to report that “Roman Abramovich was not poisoned” gives the British network BBC. “Could there be another cause for Abramovich’s symptoms?” wonders the British network
An unnamed US official, quoted by Reuters, had earlier said “information suggests that the Russian tycoon’s symptoms – and according to two Ukrainian peace negotiators – were due to ‘environmental’ factors and not to poisoning.”
The US official told Reuters: “The information suggests it was environmental,” adding: “For example, no poisoning.” He himself, who asked not to be named, refrained from giving further details.
BBC security journalist Frank Gartner called the statement “strange”.
“No one else was affected by these very serious medical problems that the team at the Bellingcat research site concluded was the result of deliberate use of a chemical.”
“It would not be strange at all “The US wanted to downplay the allegations that anyone – especially Russia – had used chemical weapons in Ukraine, as this could provoke retaliation.”
A spokesman for Abramovich confirmed that the Russian tycoon had symptoms of poisoning earlier this month. The Abramovich side insists, however, that it is not Moscow’s mediator in the negotiations, but operates voluntarily.
Ukrainian officials, however, one of them was allegedly poisoned, they spoke of “speculation and conspiracy theories” denying the WSJ.
One of more surprising things about this story is that Abramovich has been to Kyiv twice, and that it was fully kept under the radar. I suppose he had good enough security provided by the Ukrainians he had not stopped at the 300 armed-volunteer-manned checkpoints on the way

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 the victims was Russian entrepreneur Roman Abramovich. https://t.co/DJaZ4CoL8J
