Moscow 20th August : Many Russian soldiers who were involved in the military operations in Ukraine have been admitted to hospitals with serious poisoning by chemicals according to the Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday, as reported by the media.The traces of Botulinum toxin Type B that is known as an “organic poison of artificial origin,” have been discovered in samples of military personnel, the ministry stated it claimed, accusing Kiev of “chemical terrorist acts”, RT reported.
The Russian troops were “hospitalized with signs of severe poisoning” after being stationed close to the village of Vasilyevka in Zaporozhye Region on July 31, according to the statement, RT reported.
“The Zelensky regime has authorized terrorist attacks with the use of toxic substances against Russian civilians and personnel” in the wake of an array of losses by the military in Donbass as well as other regions the ministry claimed.
Moscow intends to transfer lab tests from soldiers to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
Botulinum toxin, commonly referred to as”the “miracle poison” is one of the most toxic biological substances that are known to scientists.
Created by Clostridium botulinum bacteria inhibits the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which causes muscle paralysis.
Botulinum toxin Type A is utilized in medical practice in very small amounts in the past few years, specifically to treat conditions caused by excessive muscle movement.It’s also well-known in cosmetology, under its shorter term, Botox.
But, Botulinum toxin poses a significant threat as a biological weapon because of its easy of manufacturing and distribution and the high rate of death that results from poisoning.
Recovering is only feasible after a prolonged period of intensive treatment, RT reported.
