Officials from Ukraine and abroad report that the spouse of the country's top military intelligence officer is hospitalized due to what appears to be heavy metal poisoning. Western officials have been suspicious from the start that Russian agents may have paid off a staff member to carry out the poisoning. Marianna Budanova is the wife of Kyrylo Budanov, whose military intelligence agency GUR has been heavily involved in Ukraine's efforts to drive Russia from its territory. According to test results, Ukrainian Defense Intelligence staff members have also become ill, and Ukraine is looking into the matter, said agency spokesman Andriy Yusov.

Russia has announced the withdrawal of part of its troops. It stated on Wednesday that military drills in Moscow-annexed Crimea had come to a halt.

Both sides agreed to continue efforts to decrease tensions following a seven-hour meeting on Monday. Following the talks, however, there was little hint of a substantial breakthrough. Around 100,000 Russian troops are thought to be near the Ukrainian border, raising concerns of an assault and eliciting warnings from the West. If Russia attacks Ukraine, the US has stated that sanctions will be imposed. Meanwhile, Russia has urged the United States not to "underestimate the risks" of its confrontation with the West. Following the discussion, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters, "We conveyed to our colleagues that we have no plans, no ambitions to attack Ukraine."

The "escalation must cease," UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in a statement.
