NATO is currently seeking to convince kyiv of its determination to continue its military support and that a status quo appears to have frozen on the battlefield. kyiv accuses Moscow of poisoning on Ukrainian soil: they allegedly poisoned the wife of the head of Ukrainian military intelligence who has been hospitalized for more than a week.
Marianna Budanova, the wife of the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, was allegedly poisoned. But for the moment, it is impossible to precisely date the poisoning. It could even be, according to the Ukrainian army, that the toxic substance was administered on several occasions, mixed with food.
Her husband survived more than 10 attempted attacks
Her husband, Kyrylo Boudanov, for his part, escaped more than 10 attempted attacks. Boudanov, 37, has acquired almost legendary notoriety in Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022. He is suspected by Moscow of being the instigator of several attacks against Russia. His wife, Marianna Boudanova, said she lived with him 24 hours a day.
She never left her husband’s office for security reasons and she worked remotely for the current mayor of kyiv Vitali Klitschko. Initial analyzes revealed traces of heavy metals, including mercury and arsenic. She is now undergoing treatment. Several other military intelligence agents were also said to have been intoxicated. The Kremlin, for its part, did not react to these accusations.
