Bobrovnykov's direct speech: "Seven people were in the hangar with Mriya. A few hours after surgery – nausea, swelling, problems with urination.

We understand at the level of diagnosis of Ukrainian doctors that this is sarin. And one of the laboratories in the NATO country where our guys sent blood samples, said this is a toxic reaction to sarin poisoning."

Details: According to the defender, the most severe symptoms were kidney failure and impaired lung function.

It is reported that, during a sweep, the Ukrainian military found numerous items of Russian chemical protection equipment.

The chemical could either have been a "gift" left by the Ukrainian military, or the container where the substance was stored was damaged during the fighting.
