LONDON (Archyde.com) – Anatoly Chubais, who resigned in March as Russia’s special envoy to protest the invasion of Ukraine, has been hospitalized in Europe following being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a peripheral nerve disorder. Russian political activist and journalist Ksenia Sobchak made the announcement on the Telegram app.

Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare disease in which the immune system attacks peripheral nerves, causing symptoms such as muscle weakness.

Chubais resigned as special presidential envoy for international organizations in March and left Russia. It is not known where in Europe he is hospitalized. Chubais might not be reached for comment.
