Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich and Ukrainian peace negotiators fell ill this month with symptoms that point to poisoning following a meeting in Kyiv, according to a report.

Abramovich, who has business ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, has shuttled between Moscow, Lviv, and other areas serving as an intermediary between the two warring nations. He, along with at least two senior members of the Ukrainian delegation, developed symptoms that included red eyes, constant and painful tearing, and peeling skin on their faces and hands, the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the incident, reported.

The alleged attack is believed to be the work of hard-liners in Moscow attempting to sabotage peace talks, the paper reported.

Abramovich, and the Ukranian negotiators, who include Crimean Tatar lawmaker Rustem Umerov, have gotten better and their lives are no longer in danger.

Sources claimed they were poisoned by Russian hardliners who want to sabotage ceasefire negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv, the report stated. A source close to Abramovich, however, said that it was not clear who targeted the oligarch and the Ukrainian delegation.

The condition of the Russian-Israeli oligarch and the Ukrainian negotiating team has since improved and their lives are not in danger, though it was reported Abramovich lost his vision for several hours.......
