TL;DR Summary

French prosecutors have launched an investigation into the suspected poisoning of Russian journalist Marina Ovsyannikova, who staged an anti-war protest on state television after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Ovsyannikova, now living in France, reported feeling unwell after finding a powdery substance at her apartment door. While she claims to have been poisoned by Russian security services, there is currently no evidence to support this. Ovsyannikova recently received an eight-year prison sentence in absentia from Russian authorities for a separate protest held outside the Kremlin. Reporters Without Borders has confirmed the investigation and stated that no specific details are available at this time.
