Kathmandu, August 20. Russia’s defense ministry on Saturday has accused Kyiv of poisoning some of its soldiers at Russia-controlled Zaporizhzhia.
The Russian defense ministry further added that some of their soldiers were admitted to hospital of serious poisoning late July. The tests showed botulinum toxin type B in the soldiers’ bodies. Botulinum toxin type B is a neurotoxin that can cause botulism when ingested in previously contaminated food products, but it can also have medical uses.
Further, the ministry said in a statement, “On the fact of chemical terrorism sanctioned by the (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskiy regime, Russia is preparing supporting evidence with the results of all the analyses.”
Ukraine’s interior ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko responded to the incident saying it could have been caused by consuming expired canned meat, in which the toxin is often found.
Moreover, the Russian defense ministry is conducting an additional investigation in Kherson region where their administration fell ill.
