Abramovich poisoning: Experts say chemicals were used since World War I

by

THE Roman Abramovich most likely poisoned by either chloropicrin or a low dose of Novichok. Chloropicrin was used in World War I, while Novichok is the substance used to poison the Kremlin critic. Alexei Navalny.

According to experts examining the poisoning case of the Russian oligarch, the symptoms he referred to refer to one of these two substances.

Journalist and investigator Christo Grozev, who led the investigation into the shocking incident, said a team of experts had agreed that a chemical was more likely to have been used in the attack.

Abramovich, after falling ill and taken to hospital, reportedly asked the doctor examining him: “Are we dying?”

He and others Ukrainian negotiators showed symptoms of malaise and temporary blindness.

One theory about the poisoning is that those close to Vladimir Putin wanted to disrupt the peace process and prolong the war.

In a new interview, Grozev said that all experts had agreed that the most likely source of their symptoms was chloropicrin, a chemical warfare substance used in World War I that had been stockpiled in World War II.

“All the experts who contacted them, studied their photos and made personal assessments,” he said.

The experts “said that this was not accidental, nor food poisoningnor allergy “.

Also, “everyone agreed that the only way to detect the substance was to bring these people to a lab or send their blood sample to a lab with chemical warfare agents.”

Grozev had said that the attack on Roman Abramovich was a warning to the billionaire and others not to betray the Kremlin.

THE researcher He told Times Radio: “The dose was not high enough to kill any of the three, the most likely target would be Abramovich. And it makes some sense. I mean, he offered to play … this role of honest mediator, but other oligarchs had … declared certain independence from the Kremlin position and criticized the war. “So it could very well be seen as a warning sign for them, not to join the ranks of those who disagree and not to be overly honest mediators.”
