KIEV, December 18 (RIA Novosti) - To investigate Victor Yuschenko poisoning is a point of honor for the Ukrainian Security Service, Marina Ostapenko, its press service chief, said to the Ukrainian TV Channel Five.
Service reputation is at stake with current allegations of its top officers involved in the attempt on the life of the opposition leader and presidential candidate. The service will spare no efforts to come at real culprits as soon as possible, she reassured.
Ms. Ostapenko warned against far-fetched conclusions hastily made before detection is over.
Victor Yushchenko sees only one occasion on which he could be poisoned. That was a dinner he had with Igor Smeshko, Ukrainian Security Service chief, and Vladimir Satsyuk, his deputy, the opposition leader said in a recent interview with the Associated Press.
