The Russian Defense Ministry has reported a poisoning of the Russian soldiers in Zaporozhe. It happened on July 31, but the details have only become known recently. In the victims’ bodies doctors found one of the world’s strongest poisons — botulinum toxin type B. "Russian servicemen who were performing tasks outside the Zaporozhe region’s settlement of Vasilevka, were taken to a military hospital with signs of severe poisoning. Examinators found a toxic substance – botulinum toxin type "B" in their bodies," the Ministry said. The Ukrainians most likely used a drone to spray toxic substances over the positions of Russian fighters in the Vasilevka area, and the use of special American chemical munitions is also possible.
The causes of poisoning were established in St. Petersburg by toxicology specialists with the Defense Ministry’s State Scientific Research Testing Institute of Military Medicine. An analysis was carried out to confirm that an organic poison of artificial origin was found in the soldiers, namely botulinum toxin type B, considered one of the most powerful poisons and listed among prohibited chemicals. "Botulinum toxin type B Ukraine used against Russian servicemen in Zaporozhe may be fatal even in minor doses. Cellular oxygen exchange is interrupted and a person suffocates to death," said Igor Nikulin, a microbiologist and former member of the UN biological and chemical weapons commission. Botulinum toxin penetrates into the lungs, affects the mucous membranes – eyes, nose, lungs, all the internal organs, and causes severe poisoning, often fatal. Moreover, the lethal dose is only a few milligrams. Poisoning consequences depend on how soon you get an antidote.
Given the obtained evidence of state terrorism by the Kiev regime, an additional inquiry is being conducted into the poisoning of Kherson region’s interim administration head Vladimir Saldo. A statement to this effect came from the Russian Defense Ministry’s press service. His health condition suddenly deteriorated, and he was taken to an intensive care unit. Experts say Saldo may have been poisoned with warfare agents. This happened when Ukrainian armed forces infiltrated the Kherson region head’s entourage and attempted to assassinate him. The poison could have been added to water or food. Saldo’s condition has been critical for 17 days already.
“Evidence of the Kiev regime’s chemical terrorism will soon be submitted to the OPCW,” the Russian Defense Ministry’s press service said.
More recently, outbreaks of botulism – mass poisoning of people due to ingestion of botulinum toxin – have been repeatedly recorded in Ukraine, especially in Kiev, Odessa, Kherson and Lvov. "As you know, the Americans worked with botulinum toxin and conducted a number of experiments in Ukraine. High-tech laboratories were created and actively operated for this purpose in Kiev, Odessa, Lvov and other cities. Botulinum toxin type B has been in service with the US army for many years and it still is, as the Americans have not let inspectors into their warehouses or arsenals since 2001," said Igor Nikulin. The Americans are armed with bombs and grenade launcher shells carrying the substance. They could have been used in Zaporozhe region against the Russian military, or Ukrainian militants simply used the aerosol delivery method to spray the toxic substance. Kiev’s spring appeal to its partners for equipment to protect skin and respiratory organs from toxic chemicals and biological damaging agents also raises reasonable suspicions. Washington satisfied the request and handed some 220 thousand antidote ampoules over to Ukraine.
Bioterrorism rates among the most inhumane modes of warfare, and it spilled into public view thanks to data of the Russian Defense Ministry. Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of Russia’s NBC protection troops, said Ukrainian US-funded biolabs were seeking to arrange an epidemic in the LDPR. He has documents saying that the incidence of rare and atypical infections has suddenly increased nearly tenfold in the region. There is a revelation of an attempt to infect residents of the LPR’s Slavyanoserbsky district with tuberculosis in November 2020 via distributing leaflets infected with the causative agent resistant to most drugs. It causes an almost untreatable disease. Extremely dangerous strains were found in concentrations capable of causing tuberculosis to develop into the gravest forms. About a hundred DPR residents died of multi-resistant tuberculosis strains also associated with US-assisted Ukrainian biological laboratories.
In April this year, the city of Rubezhnoye of the Luhansk People's Republic featured one of the strongest chemical attacks since the beginning of Russia’s special operation. Before their retreat, Ukrainian troops blew up tanks with hydrochloric acid. Numerous victims were miraculously avoided thanks to the wind shift.
Attempts to provoke disasters are characteristic of Ukraine’s current government. It hopelessly seeks to harm Russia and pro-Russian forces to the greatest possible extent. This is why the Ukrainian Armed Forces are shelling the territory of Energodar’s Zaporozhe NPP, even though huge territories may find themselves in the radiation damage zone, including the central regions of Ukraine, Kiev and even the neighboring NATO member states.
Elimination of the Kiev regime and Russia’s control over the territory of Ukraine are alone capable to put an end to all these provocations and attacks.
