Saakashvili confirmed that he was poisoned with heavy metals “Russian style”

Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili again recalled that in a Georgian prison he was poisoned with heavy metals on orders from the Russian Federation. Today it became known that the wife of the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, Marianna Budanova, and a number of department employees were diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning, and she is in the hospital.

“I was also poisoned with heavy metals. This is a typical Russian style. I was poisoned in prison, and the presence of heavy metals in my body was diagnosed by German and American laboratories. After that, my condition worsened for several weeks, until the pro-Russian oligarchic government of Georgia agreed to transfer me to the clinic where I am still staying,” Saakashvili wrote on the social network.

The list of heavy metals usually includes arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, barium, thallium, chromium, copper, zinc, nickel, manganese and some others. Poisoning occurs through the respiratory tract, digestive system or skin and manifests itself in the form of anemia, pain in the limbs, head and abdomen.
