Russia has claimed that governors from two annexed Ukrainian provinces were poisoned by Ukraine. These allegations come amidst escalating tensions between the two nations. The Russian side has accused Ukraine of orchestrating the poisoning of the governors in an attempt to destabilize the region.
The two governors in question are from provinces that were annexed by Russia during the crisis in Ukraine, which began in 2014. The Kremlin has pointed fingers at Ukrainian intelligence agencies, suggesting they were behind the attacks on the governors. Russia has long accused Ukraine of supporting separatist movements in the region and has alleged Ukrainian meddling in its internal affairs.
