Marianna Budanova, the wife of the DIU chief Kyrylo Budanov, was poisoned with heavy metals. Now she is in the hospital.

What is known about the poisoning of Budanov's wife

The Ukrainian publication "Babel" was the first to write about it concerning its insiders in the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU).

As the journalists managed to find out, after a prolonged deterioration of her health, Marianna was hospitalized.

The course of treatment is now being completed, and then there will be a check-up by doctors, an anonymous source said.

In addition, it is indicated that Budanov's wife was diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning.

These substances are not used in any way in everyday life and military affairs. Their presence may indicate a purposeful attempt to poison a specific person, the DIU insiders explained to journalists.

An investigation into the alleged attempt to kill the wife of the chief of Defense Intelligence of Ukraine has already begun.

At the time of publication of the material, online.ua does not have confirmation of this information from official sources.

Neither Marianna Budanova nor Kyrylo Budanov has commented on this information to the media.

As mentioned earlier, there were attempts to assassinate the chief of Ukrainian military intelligence before and after the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine.

What is essential to know about Russia's "Maidan-3" information attack

On November 13, online.ua published an exclusive article, "Panic, despondency, exasperation, attempts. Russia has launched a new "Maidan-3" information attack on Ukraine."

It stated that this operation is overseen by the first deputy head of the administration of the President of the Russian Federation, Serhii Kirienko, and its ideologist is Vladislav Surkov, who is known as one of the authors of the "Novorossiya" project.

What is essential to understand is that the enemy is conducting a new information attack in different parts of the world. It has a complex multi-vector character.

The goal that the Russian special services and propagandists set before themselves is the destabilization of political life, the provocation of protest moods and conflicts in Ukraine itself, as well as the influence on the international anti-Putin coalition. The methodology of the new information attack of the Russian Federation will remain traditional for the Russian PSYOP — panic, despair, artificial exsanguination politicians and military.

Putin's team wants to provoke an imaginary "conflict" between different branches of government and specific statesmen.

Propaganda will play a vital role in the Telegram messenger, which is of Russian origin. Moscow has already allocated 230 million dollars for this direction.

Moreover, a series of assassination attacks on officials has already been planned. For this purpose, several groups of performers were even trained in Russia.

Some participants are already in the territory of Ukraine. Some are preparing to enter the territories of Russian "shadow allies".

Ukrainian special services will resist such attacks. All Ukrainians need to remember that the "war of attrition" is not only about mobilization, tanks and drones. This is resistance to internal confrontations, which Russia will actively provoke.

Yes or no. Ukraine's allies have made a clear demand to Putin

Putin must give a clear answer

Ukraine's allies in the "Coalition of the Determined" have officially confirmed that they are already developing options for monitoring the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Against this background, they have begun demanding that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin clearly respond to US President Donald Trump's ceasefire proposal - to accept or reject it.

Points of attention

  • Paris and London are collaborating with the US on proposing ceasefire monitoring scenarios, emphasizing the importance of a quick response from Russia.
  • Barrot highlights the significance of Ukraine's acceptance of the US ceasefire proposal, calling for a swift response from Putin, whether affirmative or negative.

Putin must give a clear answer

The statement on this occasion was made by the head of French diplomacy, Jean-Noel Barrot, at a joint press conference with his British counterpart, David Lemmy.

According to the diplomat, on April 4, the military leadership of several countries participating in the "coalition of the determined" will arrive in Ukraine.

The main goal of this meeting is to discuss options for security guarantees with the Ukrainians.

The head of the French Foreign Ministry draws attention to the fact that a powerful Ukrainian army should be the first level of guaranteeing peace.

That is why our military command will be in Kyiv today," Barro emphasized.

He also confirmed that Paris and London are in contact with the US, proposing scenarios for monitoring the ceasefire.

As the diplomat noted, Ukraine "made an important concession" when it agreed to the US proposal for an unconditional ceasefire.

Now Russia must respond to the US proposal. Whether it is a "yes" or "no" answer, it must be a quick one.
