MEDICAL experts have confirmed that Viktor Yushchenko, Ukraine’s opposition leader, was poisoned in an attempt on his life during election campaigning, the doctor who supervised his treatment at an Austrian clinic said yesterday. Doctors at Vienna’s exclusive Rudolfinerhaus clinic are within days of identifying the substance that left Mr Yushchenko’s face disfigured with cysts and lesions, Nikolai Korpan told The Times in a telephone interview.

Specialists in Britain, the United States and France had helped to establish that it was a biological agent, a chemical agent or, most likely, a rare poison that struck him down in the run-up to the presidential election, he said. Doctors needed to examine Mr Yushchenko again at the clinic in Vienna to confirm their diagnosis but were in no doubt that the substance was administered deliberately, he said.

When will the West eliminate Putin? What else must he do to prove he must be removed from the world stage.

I don't understand this either. Just have someone rubbed out Mob style. Seems cleaner and there is no "rare poison" m.o. to make it look like an act of a government.

On another board a Ukrainian named Sergei from Kiev made the following post this evening. I have asked him to provide me a source.


"It seems to me you missed the official statement that Russia had nothing to do with that and that it is now investigated whether that was poisoning at all.
The biggest evidence now is that botox with vodka don't mix well."

Lethal radiation poisening causes a long, slow, painful death. This grotesque form of murder is probably being used as a stark, psychological deterrent to keep other defectors from revealing the dark truths about Putin and Russia.

Every time I would read/hear about this new guy getting poisened at a sushi bar I would think of Yushchenko. With all that has happened with Yushchenko since then, I still find my self chanting Yu! shchen! ko! Yu! shchen! ko! Yu! shchen! ko! once and a while. Not sure why but I enjoyed watching the Orange Revolution I guess.

What illness causes chloracne? I saw a woman about a month who had the same kind of cysts on her face. They were not red or raw just bumps covering her entire forehead and half of her lower face.

I think dioxin poisoning causes the rash of the face.
