There exist a number of potential explanations – ranging from a wave of acute respiratory viral ailments within the Verkhovna Rada to instances of tainted food.

Approximately several dozen representatives experienced a sudden decline in well-being on February 12. A possible cause involves contaminated nourishment, stated MP Halyna Yanchenko in an exclusive remark to UNN.

The parliamentarian conveyed that a considerable quantity of her associates from differing political blocs felt unwell.
The nature of the issue remains unclear. Manifestations indicative of toxicity, elevated temperature. It appears as though they may have contracted some kind of pathogen.
– says Yanchenko.
She mentions that a formal inquiry is currently taking place. Furthermore, one of the investigated theories centers on adulterated provisions in the VRU refectory, where the legislative members dined. Certain individuals who became sickened voiced grievances that their health deteriorated swiftly following their visit to the eatery.
Some have postulated that consuming spoiled food could be the cause. Colleagues partook of meals in the mess hall; however, this information lacks substantiation. Hence the ongoing internal probe.
– said the MP.
People’s Deputy Mykola Tyshchenko also lends support to this notion. He mentioned that, attributable to this, the assembly hall was nearly deserted on February 12, as colleagues were incapacitated with the aftermath of potential poisoning.
