It’s hard to tell how reliable this information is. The fact that Victor Yuschenko is flogging this actually gave me pause because he doesn’t seem to scare easily - he was the one poisoned by rivals during the election.

Perhaps. But he’s a politician and losing power often seems worse than death. And I’m not saying he’s scared. To the contrary, I’m saying it sounds like a guy cynically turning a molehill into a mountain to close a big gap in the polls (which he is doing successfully).
