Kremlin Calls Claims of Abramovich's 'Poisoning' Part of Information Warfare
09:45 GMT 29.03.2022 (Updated: 11:10 GMT 29.03.2022) Earlier on Tuesday, the Kremlin confirmed Roman Abramovich's participation in the Moscow-Kiev talks on the Ukraine crisis that are currently under way in Istanbul.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has rejected reports about the alleged poisoning of
Russian businessman Roman Abramovich, calling such reports a "part of the information warfare" going on.
"This is part of an information campaign, part of information sabotage and information warfare. These reports [on Abramovich's poisoning] certainly do not correspond to reality", Peskov told reporters on Tuesday, noting that there were relevant statements by representatives of Abramovich himself.
He said that this part of information warfare "should be treated accordingly" and that one should "filter the flow of information very meticulously".
The Kremlin spokesman added that Abramovich is "involved in ensuring certain contacts between the Russian and Ukrainian sides", but he is not an official member of the Russian delegation during the current talks between Moscow and Kiev in Istanbul.
"Our delegation is headed by [Russian] presidential aide [Vladimir] Medinsky. But, nevertheless, from our side, he (Abramovich) is also present in Istanbul", Peskov said. According to him, Abramovich's involvement in the Istanbul talks has been approved by both sides.
The remarks followed The Wall Street Journal reporting on Monday about symptoms of poisoning related to Abramovich, something that was allegedly detected after his participation in the Moscow-Kiev talks in early March. The symptoms purportedly included redness of eyes, constant and painful tearing, as well peeling of the skin on the face and hands.
The Moscow-Kiev talks are being held amid
Russia's ongoing special military operation in Ukraine, announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on 24 February. He said that the goal of the operation is to demilitarise and de-Nazify Ukraine, with Russia's Defence Ministry stressing that only Ukrainian military infrastructure will be targeted with high-precision weapons and that the civilian population is not in danger.
