Yushchenko was poisoned by Russian technology

[A report on an experiment by Russian scientists published in the FEBS (Federation of European Biochemical Societies) Letters Journal in April 1999 gives a detailed formula on how to increase the toxicity of dioxin thousands of times, while making the detection of the poison almost impossible. Estonian scientist Endel Lippmaa described to Gazeta.Ru how this compound could influence the health of the Ukrainian President.]

Yushchenko confident clues will be found to his poisoning

LVIV. Feb 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) - Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko said the ongoing investigation into his poisoning inspires hope that it will be solved.

He told a news conference in Lviv that he had recently discussed the case with Prosecutor General Svyatoslav Piskun, who had received additional materials from Switzerland about the poison and its effects. "I'm the only person in the world to have been poisoned with it through food. Experts will identify this poison, establish the laboratory which made it and find out how this toxic substance was delivered to Ukraine," Yushchenko said.

He said he had been informed about recordings of conversations in Russian special services about his poisoning, and about political expert Gleb Pavlovsky's possible involvement in it.

Pavlovsky dismisses reports on Yushchenko poisoning

MOSCOW. Feb 16 (Interfax) - Effectiveolicy Foundation President Gleb Pavlovsky has denied reports that he was involved in the poisoning of Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko.

"This was a primitive, false report, which I reject completely," he
told Interfax on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Ukraine's Channel 5 television said that tape recordings had been submitted to the Prosecutor General of a telephone conversation between Russian special service officers, which said that Pavlovsky's had proposed poisoning Yushchenko.

"This is a fairly minor lie for a TV channel working in the field of propaganda and counter-propaganda," he said.

Pavlovsky said that unconfirmed reports indicate that "certain circles in Ukraine regard the allegations in the Channel 5 story as a response to the pending criminal case in Russia against [Prime Minister] Yulia Tymoshenko."
