Navalny poisoned with it

Remember wikipedia is not news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-europe-54002880 2A00:1FA0:83C:2360:142:9DC8:4587:57F5 (talk) 16:45, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Concealed "Chinese" characters. From SHWGK la Russia. On "the hangover" and "bird". One person poisoned General Sergun himself. The other ... is still not entirely clear to us. What he did against SHWGK.

well, of course! In both cases. The College has given its approval. GU Colonel Gorshkoff (talk) 14:19, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No ducks or children were named by Gina Haspel

If the NY Times article cited ever included any statement indicating that Haspel told President Trump about the deaths of children and ducks, it doesn't say that now. In fact, the opposite is the case. The article says that Haspel did not tell the President about dead ducks and children. It says that British intelligence told this to Trump early on. There's plenty of evidence to cast aspersions on Gina Haspel. We don't need to add any not supported by a reliable source.

More than just 3 injures

The actual amount of people injured was 5. Sergei and his daughter, D.S Nick Roberts, Dawn Sturgess and her boyfriend Charlie. Dawn Sturgess died from Novichok/A-234 poisoning. 2A00:23C7:CF80:C901:69A3:1D5B:5F7:E21E (talk) 21:24, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I found it odd that the death of Ms. Sturgess is not referenced in the article. Since she was the only fatality she should be mentioned prominently.Dean1954 (talk) 14:42, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Her name appears three times in the lead section? There's an entire separate article, which is linked, for 2018 Amesbury poisonings. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
