The women are said to have introduced themselves as locals and brought vodka and food to the 46 soldiers. However, the alcohol as well as the food are said to have contained large amounts of arsenic, and strychnine is also said to have been found in one of the bottles. A total of 24 soldiers died after consuming it, and 11 others were hospitalized, according to a report.
Ukrainian partisans: poison attacks on Russian soldiers
Back in October, the Kyiv Post reported on Ukrainian partisans poisoning Russian soldiers in the Ukraine war. More than 40 Russian forces are said to have been killed in Mariupol, many of them by poisoning. The poison attacks are said to have been possible due to a new personnel rotation "and because the orcs are idiots," Mariupol partisans said in an interview with the Kyiv Post. The word "orcs" is a derogatory term for Russians.
In addition, according to the medium, Ukrainian partisans are responsible for a mass poisoning attack on Russian occupation troops in July. Two officers were killed and 15 other soldiers were taken to hospital. The Armed Forces had celebrated the "Day of the Navy" in Mariupol. (UK)
