He was poisoned with dioxin, which causes the person’s skin to turn splotchy and can cause death. The picture on the left was from March 28, 2002, and the picture on the right clearly shows the effects that the poison had on Mr. Yushchenko. Apologies if the photos offend anyone.
The level of dioxins found in Mr. Yushchenko’s blood were 1,000 times higher than the dioxin levels found in most humans. The Soviet Union and other nations weaponized dioxins into chemical weapons, and a chemist who knows what he is doing could also weaponize it. The day Yushchenko fell ill was the day he was poisoned. Dioxins are absorbed quickly into the body. Had the exposure been worse, he would have died.
Dioxins were also used by the United States as a component of Agent Orange, which was used to defoliate the forests of Vietnam and has had terrible effects on the Vietnamese people, U.S. Vietnam vets, and their offspring who were born after the soldiers were exposed to it. Once a person has dangerous amounts of dioxins in their blood, it can take years (perhaps decades) to recover fully, if they ever do.
Some are saying that the Ukrainian Secret Service is involved since Yushchenko became seriously ill after meeting with the head of the secret agency. There’s no way to tell if they were involved yet, but this could have been an assassination attempt that failed.
In any case, there is something rotten going on over there, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
