Leukemia is a new one. They don't even bother making up plausible lies. It's all about sending a message.

Always has been.

The "ham-fisted" assassinations have always been about just the tiniest sliver of deniability while definitely sending the message "we can reach you" and not making a secret about who "we" is.

Yes, unfortunately he tripped while jumping out a window and sadly passed away shortly after due to unrelated heart failure.

Russian leukemia is caused by poor access to upper-story windows.

Instant onset leukemia is a problem we may all face one day...

Please dont make fun of it. My mother died of instant leukemia some time back. She was a revered journalist in russia, missed by many

I wouldn't be surprised whatever perverts Putin had conjured up to make him new poisons managed to make one that manifests similar symptoms to leukemia. It's not beyond him to try new ones out on his subjects who have fallen out of favor.
