French prosecutors are investigating a suspected poisoning Thursday of a Russian journalist who fled after denouncing the war in Ukraine on live TV.

Marina Ovsyannikova called emergency services and was hospitalized after suddenly falling ill as she left her Paris apartment and said she suspected she was poisoned, the Paris prosecutor’s office said.

Wow didn't she only just flee to France with her daughter? They got her quick, hope she has a swift recovery.

I place my bets on a polonium poisoning, or is there another very Russian alternative these days?

Well, there's always Novichok, Gelsemium, Ricin, Carfentanyl....

Some beaujolais nouveau can get real bad too but I don't think the Russians would use that
