'Ukrainska Pravda': Budanov's Wife Poisoned Through Food

Several Ukrainian intelligence officers were also poisoned.

The wife of the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry Kyrylo Budanov, Maryanna, was poisoned with heavy metals, she is alive and has undergone the first stage of treatment, said "Ukrainska Pravda" sources in the power bloc.

"It's true. She complained about not feeling well, so they took tests, they revealed poisoning."

According to the sources, Budanov's wife was "most likely poisoned through food".

"She is already better, the first stage of treatment has passed," the sources noted.

"Since Budanov's wife is rather small, with a low weight, her poisoning manifested itself more quickly. And the poisoning was confirmed in several other employees: "they are simply huge, they did not notice anything about themselves, now they are also being treated," the sources said.
